Choose by ecosystem and portability; Switch 2 adds presentation upgrades, while PC offers configurable display features documented by current review testing.
Choose PS5 or PC for a fixed home setup, Switch for the lowest-cost portable Nintendo copy, and Switch 2 for the officially advertised resolution, texture, and frame-rate improvements. The campaign is the same; the checked official sources do not establish cross-platform saves.
Platform comparison
| Platform | Launch price | Verified advantage | Important boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| PS5 | $59.99 | Native console release and PSN ecosystem | PS5 review findings do not prove Switch or PC behavior |
| Switch | $59.99 | Portable play and a lower base price than native Switch 2 | No advertised Switch 2 presentation enhancements without upgrade |
| Switch 2 | $64.99 | Improved resolution, textures, and frame rate | Same story; no native Digital Deluxe listing on the official product page |
| Windows PC | $59.99 | Configurable PC display options; one review documents ultrawide, upscaling, HDR, and FOV options | A single review rig cannot predict every PC |
The Nintendo choice
If you already own or prefer the Switch SKU, the $4.99 Switch 2 Upgrade Pack is the direct route to the enhanced version. It cannot run without the Switch game. The official product page recommends combining the Switch Digital Deluxe Edition with that upgrade if you want both the cosmetic pass and Switch 2 enhancements.
Nintendo lists the Switch download at 19.5 GB and the Switch 2 download at 33.2 GB. Storage requirements can change with updates, so check the live store before clearing space.
What current review evidence can and cannot prove
Game Informer and WorthPlaying reviewed PS5 builds and reported strong overall results. ZTGD reviewed PC and documented ultrawide, upscaling, HDR, FOV, and a stable experience on its own system. Those are useful platform-specific observations, not a universal frame-rate guarantee.
No equivalent checked source establishes that base Switch matches Switch 2 performance. The official language supports only the direction of the enhancement—resolution, textures, and frame rate—not a site-invented target number.
Saves and purchases stay in their lanes
Demo progress and first-chapter clear-data bonuses should be handled within the matching platform path. No checked official source promises moving a save or purchase among Steam, PlayStation, and Nintendo. Read the save-transfer guide before switching ecosystems.
