The day has finally arrived! Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, and the digital comparison tools are already whirring. While the game is a masterpiece on the original hardware, a new video showcases just how the sequel console takes the adventure to the next level.

As you’d expect, the Nintendo Switch 2 delivers a noticeably enhanced technical experience. The key upgrades are exactly where fans would hope:

• Buttery-Smooth Performance: Experience Hallownest’s successor at a silky up to 120 FPS.
• Pin-Sharp Resolution: Everything is rendered at a significantly higher resolution, making the gorgeous, hand-drawn art pop like never before.
• Lightning-Fast Load Times: Get back into the action faster after those… ahem… challenging moments.

It’s important to note that the core game is identical and utterly fantastic on the original Switch. But for those with the new hardware, Team Cherry’s masterpiece feels more responsive and looks crisper than ever.

Check out the side-by-side comparison video below to see the differences for yourself.
