– Anti-aliasing in the Switch version provides it an advantage over other systems.

NieR: Auomata frame rate on Switch is now 30 instead of 60 as it was on previous systems. As you go through the game, frame rate hiccups become more frequent. Later on, these problems become more obvious.
Some bouts take place at frame rates that are below 30 frames per second, or at most, hover in the low to mid 20s. Several environments lead to challenges with extended frame rates. In portable mode, the frame rate may be a little more consistent. Overall, performance is acceptable.
