Apex Legends is officially out on the Switch today and as you may have already heard, it offers cross-play so you can compete against players on other systems.

So, what will it be like for Nintendo players in battle? Speaking with Famitsu, Panic Button technical director Andy Boggs said the game would be running 720p docked, 576p in handheld mode and has a frame rate of 30 fps in both modes.

While a lot of effort has gone into the Switch version of the game, competitors on other platforms in battle could potentially have double the frame rate, if not more. While there may be some performance limitations, Andy told Nintendo Life there were no sacrifices or compromises in terms of features or content:

“Not really in terms of features or content, everything that’s in other versions of the game should be on Switch. I think the big challenge for us is always to understand which parts of the game we can tweak and change. and optimizing and which parts are so essential that we should leave it alone. I think the changes we had to make will not ultimately affect the players’ experience with it. It’s still a great experience and it feels like playing from Apex! “
