NBA 2K18 will only run at 30 FPS on Nintendo Switch, 60 FPS on PS4 and Xbox One

Following the news that NBA 2K18's game download is larger than the entire Nintendo Switch hard drive, it is now being reported that the game won't hit 60 FPS unlike its PS4 and Xbox One counterparts. The news was originally reported by Nintendo Everything, bringing to light yet another limitation of the Nintendo Switch version.

Nintendo hasn't commented much on NBA 2K18, though they did say in a press release on the most recent Direct livestream that the game would have "stunning graphics."

Here's the blurb in full:

"With big game-play improvements and stunning graphics, NBA 2K18 will be a slam dunk for sports fans when it launches on Sept. 15 in Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch and in stores on Oct. 17."

Not a whole lot to go on there.

It has also been reported that the game won't support Amiibos either but will come with all of the same features as the PS4 and Xbox One versions do.

NBA 2K18 releases first in the eShop on Nintendo Switch on September 15th with a physical retail version coming later on October 17th.
