Cronos: The New Dawn is an Unreal Engine 5-powered survival horror game that performs well on the Switch 2 hardware. After the day one patch, it maintains a stable 30 FPS in both docked and handheld modes. Unfortunately, unlike the PC versions, the Switch 2 edition offers bare minimal control over graphics settings and locks performance to ensure consistency without any drops. You cannot adjust settings like in-game resolution, ray tracing, or FPS limits; the developers lock these in.

On the positive side, you can adjust basic visual elements like motion blur, camera shake, gamma, and other accessibility features for comfort. Video settings, such as HDR output, TV resolution, and RGB range, can also be customized as per preference. If you can customize graphical settings in the future, we’ll update this guide accordingly. For now, the best settings guide below focuses on the available tweaks to enhance clarity and playstyle without overpromising changes that aren’t possible.

You can customize these options below and focus on controls, accessibility, and some parts of the visual.  

Aiming: You can use the right stick along with the gyro for precision in combat. The game caps at 30 FPS, which makes mouse mode feel laggy. You can also enable aim assist to help target enemy weak points.

Sprint: You can hold or toggle this for easier navigation in intense areas. If there are too many enemies, then you can easily split past them. 

Motion blur: This is enabled by default; turning it off reduces blur in darker areas and improves visual clarity.

Camera shake: You can reduce or disable this if you get motion sickness. Enabling the center dot also helps reduce motion sickness to some extent. 

Difficulty: By default, the game starts on Normal; Hard mode unlocks after completion. Sadly, there’s no easy mode available, but there are aim assist and QTE options to tone down the challenge.

Text/Icon size: You can use the Medium to Large options depending on your comfort.
