Shift Up details Stellar Blade port for Nintendo Switch 2

Stellar Blade Shift Up Nintendo Switch 2 video game port FSR 3.1

Shift Up CTO and Technical Director DongKi Lee has provided technical details regarding the upcoming release of ‘Stellar Blade: Complete Edition’ for the Nintendo Switch 2. The port aims to deliver a comprehensive package including content added since the game’s original 2024 PlayStation 5 launch, such as 126 costumes and DLCs from ‘NieR: Automata’ and ‘Goddess of Victory: Nikke’.

A primary focus for the development team is optimizing the handheld experience. To achieve a smoother performance, the studio is utilizing AMD FSR 3.1 frame interpolation to boost the framerate from 30 to 60fps. Lee noted that because FSR 3.1 was originally designed for PC and DirectX environments, the team had to redesign and optimize the rendering pipeline and swapchain integration specifically for the Nintendo Switch 2 hardware.
