Players on the Nintendo Switch 2 can choose between “Performance,” “Balanced,” and “Graphics” modes, letting them prioritize performance, graphics, or a balance of both while playing.
Performance: Prioritizes a more stable frame rate by lowering the rendering resolution.
Balanced: Provides a balance between visual quality and frame rate.
Graphics: Prioritizes visual fidelity for a richer, more detailed presentation.
*The frame rate may decrease depending on in-game conditions.
Both Handheld Mode and TV Mode have been optimized to deliver a smooth gameplay experience and are designed to maintain a stable frame rate of 30 FPS or higher under normal conditions.
*This feature is available in the full version only and cannot be changed in the demo version.
In addition, a free Prologue demo is currently available across all platforms, inviting prospective players to enter Metaphor: ReFantazio’s world and get a substantial taste of the early-game narrative. Progression from the demo carries over to the full version, so players can preserve the bonds they built during their first steps in the United Kingdom of Euchronia.
