Digimon Story Time Stranger Switch 2 Performance

Direct answer: Nintendo Switch 2 offers a Quality Mode and a Performance Mode. Quality Mode targets 4K HDR up to 30 FPS while docked and Full HD up to 30 FPS handheld; Performance Mode targets Full HD up to 60 FPS in both docked and handheld play.

The original Nintendo Switch version does not offer the same Quality/Performance mode selector. HDR and 4K output also depend on compatible display hardware.

Quality vs Performance mode

Bandai Namco notes that 4K/HDR TV output requires a compatible display. HDR gameplay is also supported in Switch 2 handheld mode.

What changes on Nintendo Switch

The official specs page says the Nintendo Switch version does not provide Quality Mode and Performance Mode options. This is an important distinction when comparing screenshots or frame-rate claims across the two Nintendo versions.

Do not apply the Switch 2 4K/60 FPS mode table to the original Switch version.

Save-data compatibility note

After the relevant update, save data from the Nintendo Switch software can be transferred between Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 systems. However, Bandai Namco explicitly says that save data cannot be shared with the native Nintendo Switch 2 software, even if the Switch software has been updated.

That distinction is easy to miss: moving Switch software/save between systems is not the same as moving a save into the separate Switch 2 software version.

Nintendo release status

Bandai Namco announced Digimon Story: Time Stranger as available on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 on July 10, 2026. The game is also available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Steam.
