Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach is finally available on Nintendo Switch, but this news wasn't met with excitement by fans. Instead, the announcement was flooded with memes as many joked that the game would cause their console to explode in a ball of fire.
It doesn't, luckily. The opening cutscene won't melt your Switch into slag or reach temperatures high enough that you can fry an egg on the OLED display - it runs surprisingly well. I say surprisingly because it was infamously choppy on PS4, with fans citing texture breaks, soft locks, broken AI, bugs, stuttering, crashes, and more. The PS4 has better hardware, so the expectation was that the Switch would buckle under the pressure.

While you won't burn your hands playing it, it's not perfect. According to players who dove in after yesterday's launch, there are some outrageously bad dips in performance, but it's more balanced than it was for the PS4. We can see that in the gameplay footage fans are already sharing online. Despite lower resolution and texture quality, FNAF: Security Breach looks good, and manages to keep a steady framerate most of the time.
One FNAF fan broke down their first impression of Security Breach on the subreddit, detailing a similar story to what we see in the gameplay clips being shared on YouTube.
"[Performance is] a little more on the rough side," JustThatOneGuy13 said. "For like 70% of the game, they did a good job at keeping framerate pretty smooth when it's important... The other 30% however is when it gets bad. Areas like the Atrium, the Sewers, and even Fazer Blast somehow experiences frequent load spikes in the middle of gameplay. These are also followed by lower framerates".
