Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney, claims that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vice.com\/en\/article\/epic-games-ceo-reveals-why-nintendo-switch-2-ports-are-having-performance-issues\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the problem<\/a> lies with the developers and optimisation, rather than the company\u2019s Unreal Engine 5. Of course, Sweeney didn\u2019t want to blame certain developers, but he did say it was more a matter of them properly optimising their games in the early stages of development. He pointed out that <a href=\"https:\/\/mynintendonews.com\/2025\/08\/02\/fortnite-x-halo-has-been-revealed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fortnite<\/a> runs really well on Nintendo Switch 2, though obviously that is developed by Epic Games on their own engine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe primary reason is the development process. Many developers begin by developing games for high-end hardware, then optimize and test on lower-spec devices in the final stages. Ideally, optimization should be implemented early.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course, optimization is by no means an easy task. It\u2019s a very difficult one. Ideally, optimization should be implemented early in development, before full-scale content building begins. To address this issue, we are preparing two main approaches.\u201d Sweeney added that Epic Games plans to add automated optimization in future UE5 updates to help with manual labor. He also added that they will be offering developer training courses.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to SonicGalaxy27 for sending us the news tip! <\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tLike this:<\/p>\n<p>Like Loading&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"sd-link-color\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n\tRelated<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There\u2019s been a worrying trend of Unreal Engine 5 ports on the Nintendo Switch 2 having performance issues&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":386519,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[53,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-386518","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-technology","9":"tag-uk","10":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115121569702655843","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/386518","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=386518"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/386518\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/386519"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=386518"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=386518"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=386518"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
