Interesting decision here to put the hands on Switch Cyberpunk footage before the PC attempt at estimating the result. I mean, I get why: it’s what everyone wants to see. You also did the work of benchmarking a Switch-like configuration on PC. However, it is kind of weird to see the answer before the equation, you know what I mean?

Will AC Shadows PSSR implementation be a separate video?

Will we get more impressions from the Switch 2 event? Did you get a chance to play Metroid or the new Donkey Kong?

Welcome to the world of YouTube where you have progressively fewer eyeballs the longer your video is. There's also the point that the Direct was filmed mostly before the Nintendo event and it wasn't even clear if we'd see Cyberpunk at all.
