- javagram 6y agoThe Nintendo Switch uses a mobile chip as well. There’s not really any reason to believe that Epic is having trouble supporting the game on ARM.
- guidedlight 6y agoNintendo Switch is a gaming device featuring a 720p display. An iPad is a general purpose feature with 4x the pixel resolution.
- kcb 6y agoGames generally don't render at native resolution on phones.
- fomine3 6y agoI don't think running game on iPhone is problem, but Nintendo Switch (or say gaming console) might have better cooling design compared to smartphone.
- sangnoir 6y agoNo "might" there - the switch has a heatsink + fan(s), sizable vents and probably a much larger battery (when portable, unlimited power supply when docked). The Switch works with a much larger power budget compare to the iPhone - input and output.
- joegibbs 6y agoDoes that really matter though if they have 100,000,000+ downloads on iOS? It would make sense to just do whatever you can to work around performance issues when it brings in the amount of money it does.
