Team Cherry's Hollow Knight has landed on the Switch 2 eShop, and a fresh video comparison lays out how the newer hardware changes the experience. The clip — put together by ElAnalistaDeBits — runs the Switch 2 edition alongside the original Switch release so viewers can judge differences in resolution and frame-rate. The highlights include a native 4K/60 option in docked play and new high-frame-rate settings that trade resolution for smoother motion.

  • Comparison video: ElAnalistaDeBits presents a split view showing the original Switch build versus the Switch 2 edition to illustrate upgrades in real time.
  • Docked performance: On Switch 2 the game can run at 4K and a steady 60 frames per second, with an alternate 120fps mode that reduces output to 1080p to hit the higher frame-rate.
  • Handheld improvements: Portable play is upgraded from the Switch's 720p to a full 1080p on Switch 2, and the title can also run at 120fps while handheld.
  • Trade-offs explained: The new 120fps options prioritize frame-rate over native resolution, so players choosing ultra-smooth motion will see a drop in pixel count compared with the 4K/60 docked setting.
  • Availability: Hollow Knight: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is already live on the eShop, letting owners test the different modes for themselves.
