Capcom's Pragmata demo has landed on Switch 2, and a fresh side‑by‑side analysis offers a clear look at how the handheld hybrid stacks up against other platforms. The breakdown highlights that while Switch 2 runs the demo at a lower native resolution than the Xbox Series S, its post‑processing produces noticeably cleaner results in several areas.

  • Resolution: Xbox Series S appears to hold a higher native pixel count, but the Switch 2’s image pipeline narrows the visual gap through effective scaling.
  • Upscaling and filtering: The Switch 2 benefits from stronger upscaling and texture filtering, which helps preserve detail that might otherwise be lost at a lower base resolution.
  • Lighting and shadows: Shadow definition and certain lighting effects come across better on the Switch 2 build, contributing to a generally crisper presentation in some scenes.
  • PS5 comparison: The PlayStation 5 remains a heavyweight for fidelity, but the demo comparisons underline how close a tuned portable can come in specific visual aspects.

Video creator ElAnalistaDeBits conducted the comparisons that surfaced these observations, giving players an easy way to judge trade‑offs between resolution and image processing on each platform.
