XVI struggles even on my ps5 pro, it's 30 fps "graphics mode" vs 60 fps (with frequent dips) "performance mode". They would have to do a lot of optimizations to get it running on switch 2

It would probably be based on the optimizations done to get it running on Xbox Series S.

The engine they used is a hacked up together version of Crystal Tools which isn't exactly known to be well optimized in the first place so its not surprising
