Switch 2 back-compat fixes Batman: Arkham Knight - Switch 1's worst triple-A port
Yes, Switch 2 does run Switch 1 games with improved performance.
With Nintendo Switch 2 arriving with us just a day before release, there's little time for Digital Foundry to put together any kind of comprehensive coverage - but there are a number of system features I was curious to test out, none more important than backwards compatibility. Batman: Arkham Knight is a game with a long and storied history for Digital Foundry, not least because of its highly compromised PC version, which was so bad it was pulled from sale before returning in an improved but still poor shape. Extra horsepower is clearly there, however and this sets the scene for a more detailed Digital Foundry investigation into backwards compatibility on the Switch 2 system, but based on initial testing, I feel there's grounds for profound optimism here.
