Sonic Frontiers review embargo finally lifted this afternoon and reviews have been decidedly mixed with some saying that game sets a solid foundation for the Sonic series in 3D and others saying that it’s a mess. Still most reviewers agree that running round the large environments as Sonic is genuinely good fun. What players need to know is that SEGA and Sonic Team did not supply the Nintendo Switch version of Sonic Frontiers for review. Reviewers were given the PlayStation 5 version of Sonic Frontiers. A fan asked Digital Foundry’s John Linneman about the Switch version and how it performs and he replied with the following.
Any spoilers on the Switch version? Safe to purchase?
“Uhhh…let’s just say, if you have another option, please consider that other option. If you only have Switch then you can still have fun, I think…somewhat.”

I would never consider playing this on switch tbh. You could already see optimization issues on the other console demos.
On top of that, the underpowered specs of switch would make it unbearable for me at least. I would say at least ps4 or xbox one level is needed.
Good luck to those on the switch though. Would like to see how that runs, I’m not sure that they’ve shown it.
Really scummy on Sega’s part to specifically choose not to supply the Switch version for review, as if they knew it was terrible but didn’t want people to cancel their pre-orders.
OUCH
I am just going to grab some popcorn and enjoy this show, lol.
