You poor soul. No one should go through this torture. The switch becomes a grill with these kinds of games

I knew the Switch version of Apex was bad, but I never imagined it was this buggy too! To all the Apex players on Switch out there, you are truly hardcore!

As a daily Switch Player i know the true pain of 30 fps, what i like to call "the lightshow" and my switch randomly saying theres a Software error at least 3 Times a week. And of course the TRIANGLE BUG that i even forgot to mention with how common it is for me😅

7:12 the dragging bricks sound when u were trying to aim had me deaaaad

Tokyo having 100% switch lobbies is insane 😂😂😂😂

“10,000 kills!? ON SWITCH!?” 😂

I miss Apex Mobile SOOOOO MUCH man, my s21 ultra hooked to a backbone on an hour long lunch break at work was a godsend. Until they ripped it from us cold blooded. Now I play warzone mobile which is a FRACTION of the fun

Don't ask how he did it, but I had a 3rd that played on switch. His time playing Borderlands, Splatoon, and BoTW payed off cause he was a great anchor player for us in Arenas; Miss those days.

As a Switch player this is so funny to watch! 😂

The "10 gifted" shot was so nutty to see live. This whole day was great

Gryo on fps games can feel just as precise as a mouse, just with different muscle memory since you are working with a Z axis and moving on an open space so it always feels weird.

I literally played switch handheld apex for like 700 hours and now I have a Pc. The memories of crunchy graphics feels nostalgic LOL.

as a previous switch player (hand held, gyro aim) this is SO fun and funny to watch bc the struggle was incredibly real lmao. i got diamond in my last season that i played on switch!

Played multiple Apex games one Switch, using the Pro controller is highly suggested lol.

I was a switch player from season 8 to season 19. I got pretty good at it. My only issue is the not stable frame rate. 30 is fine for me but it’s not a constant 30. Also gyro is by far one of the best ways to aim

I played apex on Switch since season 8 and hadn’t switched over to my PS5 until cross progression finally became a thing. the switch is a struggle, it’s definitely more suited for Mario kart and animal crossing, but if you wanna do future challenges on the switch, thermites and marksman weapons (especially the 30-30) are your friends.

I've played almost 1000 hours on handheld switch OLED. Maybe ive gotten used to it, but I don't get the hate for switch apex. The zoom out is one of my biggest problems with apex on other consoles. I feel like I can't see anything. And the four buttons that replace the d-pad are directly under the l-stick on switch is essential to me. Xbox has it off to the right, it's so hard to use.

I started playing Apex on switch with my friend when it dropped, and soon after we started i became the only one still on switch. One friend played PC, and another one ps4, and i was still somehow able to hit Plat, while they were Gold.

I have grinded like crazy on switch and never knew the Tokyo thing till now.... (1700 hours)

This brightens my day because i use to grind apex on the swtich, made it up to lvl 400 plus before getting a ps5. the switch to it was nice, but tbh there something about playing apex on the switch that just does me over wanting to play it again.

I played on switch for around 3 years. recently i got a laptop that can play on, it can only do 60 fps but i was shocked just how much better the games looks on pc, switch just makes everything looks so grainy and while i didn't really notice the fps improvement too much, if i go back to the switch i certainly notice the fps drop. it's honestly painful to play it now i know how much better it is on pc. i am proud of the badges i managed to get on switch because of that, though.

I tried it once and the fact you can’t change fov is so bad😂. I didn’t mind the frames at the time bc I played Fortnite on it beforehand.

With s20 starting soon i couldnt have picked a better time to get into your content

First time I've seen a camera quality higher than the actual game quality

Been playin since Season 8 on the Switch, can't describe how hard is to play, every new season means new bugs for us.

Thank you and whoever told you about the Tokyo servers. I just tried it for my first time today and i feel like I’m at home. Everyone is on equal footing and since I’ve spent so much time on crossplay I feel like a god now lol even tho there was a pred champ I still won in Solo Q

RIP Carl Weathers. That scene with Sylvester Stallone is cemented as a meme forever.

keep going kandyrew

Finally some real representation for my people

12:52 change that to 1-2 years and that's almost worryingly accurate to my situation 😭

We need a part 2 you all were just warming up

I play switch, handheld as rev, i am doomed to fail

I started in season 11 on switch and played on switch until season 17 and hit masters. It was hell

as someone that has played on higher FOVs now seeing what I used to play back in the day literally makes my forehead feel like its against the screen as in playing

yo is that a nyxi wizard in the thumbnail, always wanted one of those

I played 700 hours on Switch before I had a gaming PC, and then a little while after because I got an heirloom on Switch. Was really happy to switch off when cross progression arrived, but it was perfectly playable for a long time. Also one thing you didn't account for when saying if Apex was acceptable on Switch: I probably wouldn't have been playing it if I wasn't playing with friends, but I think it's great for more people to be able to play with their friends even if it's a markedly subpar experience. Now that there's cross progression at least you can get away from it someday.

Ngl I am a switch player on apex ands it’s not that bad but man when playin with the switch controller it gave me a hard time to aim and do certain things in game, but then decided to use a ps5 on the switch along with a Bluetooth usb port so it would be able to connect to the switch and bro I play like any other player on console but also the frames at first they’re bad but once you get used to it you won’t even be able to tell the difference between the first time on playin on the switch and playing fr a good min on this kind of console, btw love your vids bro love the content you out 😎🔥

As a switch player, the default joycons are hot garbage, I use the split pad pros with thumb grips and it's what gets me through😭😂

this hurt my eyes so bad that i had to skip to the end to see if boom and kandy ever won

Fun video! I'd like to see you guys play on console too to compare and contrast between the holy Trinity of gaming! PC, Console, and switch. Like how tough the lobbies are, cheating rampancy, and so on!

Greatest graphics ever!!!!

As someone who plays it on the switch yes it sucks I play it in handheld mode on my lite I deal with stick drift all the time but I suck it up because it is the only way I can play with my friends and just have a good time I hope you see this Kandy love you videos man

This was such a fun video 😂 (awesome sponsor too btw. Definitely gonna give it a try!) (And use code kandyrew)

kandy you gotta try handheld mode next thats how i play

Also, as far as what the switch runs apex at, its 1080p Dynamic resolution, so itll drop to 480p, the frames will drop to basically nothing, and your FOV is 60. Lower than you can set it on PC or other consoles.

Never been this early on a video, posted 49 seconds ago

I want the hyperev for my ps5 but I’m not sure if it will work because I play off a Verizon hotspot and i don’t know if it will help with that

Yes fell my pain

my favorite apex players Andrew and meg

As a switch player being the top 1 for a few legends on my country for switch, welcome to my world

Bro playing the switch is hard to play it's crazy also hope everyone day is going well 😊

There is even a draw back to grenade because the screen is to small to see where the grenade lands ive missed so many arcs and thermites

I dropped a 3.5k on switch. You just got to get used to it.

I got Apex on switch because I had no other choice, I didn’t own another console stronger than it, but I was content with. Sure I was frustrating with like latency, ping, chop moments, but then again this I switch, and I didn’t mind the tone down view. I will say the render distance was hard to play around because really I would avoid far away fires if I couldn’t see them Recently after getting the OLED, I haven’t redownloaded Apex due to the recent events and now I have a PC I technically could but haven’t played with anyone in a while and I play by myself

I play on switch regularly, you get used to it, but have had enough, I am saving up for a series s

i started apex on the switch back in 2021 plus I only played with my friend who was also starting but they were on PC... lol I played like that for a year idk how but I did

Just got a PS5 and I’m amazed at how much better I am. Those years on the switch under harsh conditions really paid off. 😭

I got a friend whos an apex pred knows mantle jumps, super glides, Bunny hops, and i forgot thr name of the other ones.. and hes on Nintendo it really how much time you put into studying the controls

I had the unfortunate displeasure of playing on the switch for about two years before I got my Xbox series S. Needless to say I didn't play much apex.

Finally people will understand my suffering(been playing on switch since I started playing)

As a switch player with 251 kills on octane it’s very hard to get even 1k in a match I rely on my teammates so much

i like how the kill feed looks

The frame rates are the worst part about it. It took me months, but I tuned my setting to still be competitive against console and PC players. It will never be as good as an Xbox, but minus the render distance and FPS nerf, it's mostly a painful skillcurve to learn. It's doable, but it's AWFUL, especially with the 120 FPS boost coming to Xbox and Playstation

playing on a switch is like training with ankle weights

Kandy you should try splatoon 😅 , it seems to be the only playable shooter on the switch for me

I thought the ping thing was gonna be for exitlag, ill give gear up a try tho

Just to let you know you are my fav youtuber and make me want to play apex so bad , but my pc is horrible (1080)

as a nintendo switch player who hit plat this season i feel your guys pain lol

i feel like there is work that could be done to get it working better. But that means removing ALOT of detail. only thing they cant change is skins i guess, because money, I would honestly have textures running at pretty much minecraft levels just to get a stable 720p 30 fps experience.

OG Fortnite on a non-gaming laptop trained me for years of 60fps Xbox One 3rd Gen gaming.

From what I can tell, it still looks better than the current version of Fortnite on Switch xD

I used to have to play switch when my ps4 broke. Don't remember it this bad

Apex pov of a drunk man is crazy 😂

That's how i have to play every day.

For like 2 years I was stuck on Nintendo switch cause my main account was on there and they didn’t add cross progression yet.

when a mouse and keyboard player plays controller and says it sucks

As a switch player I know the pain of playing on the switch.

Thanks!

Switch players makes me think of that MC who playin with a serious handicap without knowing it and when it starts playing on a normal device we realize that handicap made him OP. They probably think life is sweet and easy for the 60s and the 120s 😂😂

dude i mained switch for a solid 3 seasons and it was ROUGH man

As someone that used to play switch and did great you won't find one person on switch lobbies

U should do a ps4 and ps5 apex gameplay

i played first apex in switch and a year later i bought a pc n im playing there now

You can get a controller for the switch like Xbox or ps4

Hi kandy!

It’s not that bad. The 30 fps is crazy tho when a catalyst puts her ult

What I play on everyday is miserable for everyone.

if you can get good with the gyro controls you become an actual monster. i got real good at fornite on switch with gryo, i played like that for a while n then stopped playing all together for about a year or two, lost all my progress, cant shoot for shit with or without gyro lmao

Don’t used switch no more but I got more than 900 kills with pathfinder on it

I feel the pain i play on switch and it is painful i am trying to get to diamond but i vs sweaty playstation amd xbox preds

As a switch player who’s in diamond switch is for ppl who enjoy struggling

I got a migraine looking at the frames for too long

Been playing apex on switch for a year its not that bad i just hate the blur somtimes i can't even see what im aiming at

Imagine being on series x and getting absolutely plastered by a Nintendo switch pred

As a Switch player who is playing apex everyday at least 2-3 hours a day, I know the pain but I don’t mind it atp 😖😔

My PC is pretty bad but not that bad lol I get somewhere between 30-50 fps usually it's 35-40 it just depends on what map I'm on and the poi and how much stuff there is going on around me but it's still pretty playable to a point I got over 2k hrs on origin/ea and 1k something on Steam but Idk I just stopped playing for the most part back in Season 10-12 whatever season had Ash but I still do log in rarely for either collection event trackers or just for fun in TDM or Control Mode but I cant play Battle Royale on that low fps anymore so I just stick to Fortnite since it's way more fun for me anyways with all the different game modes and emotes and stuff to do now it's basically Roblox with better Graphics

the switch isnt so bad when you dock it and play with a pro controller. feels about the same as using the og ps4 or xbox one

I play on nintendo switch it is so hard and it lags every ten seconds playing wattson with all the fences is a nightmare

as a switch player, I do pretty good against console players😭 I can bhop too which is crazy just random lag spikes during fights is annoying af😢
