Apex Legends on Switch: Taking the fight onlineДЄt 25 GB, Apex Legends isn't too huge of a download, and it's free-to-play but not pay-to-win. Loading times are also surprisingly fast, and it didn't take much time at all jumping back to the lobby to search for another match. Still, it holds together surprisingly well for the most part, and I didn't experience any lag at all while playing online. However, Intense firefights did make the framerate shake to sub-30 levels. The half framerate is noticeable at first, but it's something that can be dealt with. Playing the game is a similar story, though, in my opinion, it doesn't suffer as badly. At one point during training, my gun disappeared though my character held their arms out as if they were still holding it. In my playtime, I did experience a few crashes as well as some visual glitches. It gives the game the feeling that it's just barely being held together, and that might actually be true.

The geometry of the battlefield is still the same, but it looks very muddy and blurry until you're close enough for textures to start loading in. It's incredibly apparent when you're diving in with your team from the dropship and you get a complete view of the map. Textures load in right before your eyes, and pop in is frequent.

If you want to play this game, the only way to go is with the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller.

Also, I felt that the performance was more solid in Handheld mode, though the Joy-Cons are not shooter friendly. Handheld mode drops the game's already muddy visuals down to sub-720 levels, though, like most Switch games, it benefits from the smaller screen.

Unlike Fortnite, whose cartoon-like art style doesn't look too bad despite suffering the same visual hit on the Switch, Apex becomes quite ugly on the system, which is a shame because the roster is full of colorful characters, but they're just set against muted, blurry backgrounds. Unfortunately, Apex Legends art style betrays it in this regard. Everything from character models to guns look like they've been smeared with Vaseline.

The Nintendo Switch version tops out at 720p docked and runs at 30 FPS, which is half the frame rate of its console counterparts. Right away, players downloading Apex Legends on their Switch will notice a downgrade to the visuals. The latest 'impossible' port to come to the Nintendo Switch is Apex Legends, the incredibly popular free-to-play battle royal from Respawn Entertainment, the same studio that brought us the criminally underrated Titanfall games, with assistance from Panic Button, the developers responsible for porting graphically demanding games like Doom, Doom Eternal, Rocket League, Wolfenstein 2, and Warframe to the Switch. They might not be the prettiest games on the system, but more importantly, they're playable, in both docked mode and handheld mode, where I imagine is how many Nintendo Switch owners spend their time.

Games like the Witcher 3, Doom Eternal, Crysis Remastered, and even Ori and the Blind Forest running on Nintendo's hybrid console is a technical feat, despite their obvious visual and performance downgrades. This makes the 'impossible' ports on the Nintendo Switch even more impressive. It's no secret that the Nintendo Switch hardware pales in comparison to the Xbox One or the Playstation 4, even more so when compared to the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5.
