CD Projekt has confirmed the resolutions The Witcher 3 will run at on Nintendo Switch.
In a tweet, the developer said its expansive open-world game runs at 540p in handheld mode, and 720p, with dynamic resolution enabled, when docked on Switch.

I had a chat with Digital Foundry’s Tom Morgan, who confirmed the resolutions mentioned in CD Projekt’s tweet.
“It’s one of the most daring Switch conversions to date, and so there’s clearly a need for a lot of smart adjustments,” Morgan said. “Resolution-wise it’s actually running much higher than I’d expected – and I can confirm CDPR’s claim here. It does use a dynamic system to adjust for rendering load on-screen, and testing the footage and screens available, it shows a native 1280×720 at maximum, while other shots count in at around 896×504 lowest. The range may change in the final game – and we’ll be back with more testing. But from a quick look here, most shots are coming in at 720p.
