Official frame-rate listing

Konami’s product page lists 60fps, with the Nintendo Switch version listed at 30fps. This is a publisher specification, not a measured performance test. It does not establish a resolution target, frame-time stability, or how Nintendo Switch software behaves when run through different Nintendo hardware.

Check the current official product specification before choosing a platform for performance alone.

PC requirements listed on Steam

Steam lists the following requirements for the game:

Already played the Demo?

Choose the same platform and account if you want to transfer its save. Buying on a different device ecosystem is a separate decision from selecting an edition.

Check the Demo save-transfer conditions before buying.

Which edition should you choose?

First decide where to play; then compare the package contents. Keep physical delivery, digital access and downloadable extras separate when reviewing the offer.

Compare Standard and Midnight, including the purchase bonus.

Does the release date tell me the unlock hour?

No. The date shown in the announcement is a calendar-day statement. For a specific unlock time, use the listing for your platform and account region, and look for an explicit time and timezone rather than assuming one.

Can I try the game before deciding?

The official announcement offers a Demo on the platforms listed above. If your main uncertainty is how movement and combat feel, trying it can answer a different question from comparing package extras.

Find the Demo and keep the save you may want to continue.
