IGN: Is Pokemon Legends: Z-A on Switch 2 That Much Better Than Switch 1?

TL;DR

We loaded up Pokémon Legends: Z-A on both the original Switch and the new Switch 2 to see how much of a leap the upgrade really is. Spoiler: you get noticeably sharper textures, better anti-aliasing that smooths out those jagged edges, and more stable framerates—especially in busy environments or when battling big legendaries.

Is it a night-and-day difference? Not exactly, but if you’re big on graphics and performance, the Switch 2 version feels more polished overall. We’ll let you decide if it’s worth the jump.
