Epic Games has released a major Unreal Engine 5 update that runs twice as fast on Nintendo Switch 2.
The update introduces a new lighting system called Lumen Lite. According to Epic, it is “twice as fast as Lumen High Quality” and is designed to “preserve much of the visual impact at a significantly lower GPU cost.”
Epic also said that this makes it possible for “games that rely on global illumination for artistic purposes” to run on Nintendo Switch 2 at 60 FPS.
