PC has mods and 8K is doable at 60 frames therefore there is no comparison.

It plays essentially the same at 30, the actual advantage of PC is readily available nongarbage pawn rentals at any level.

I have the switch version too and the screen is kind of small but playing docked is fine as far as I can tell. Haven't really had much issue on the switch. I picked it up on pc when it was 70% off thinking maybe the pawns were hireable across platforms but sadly they're not. I don't really compare it in terms of graphics because the switch is the same but smaller tbh. FPS maybe faster on pc if you have a beefy pc. The switch version is probably still full price though, since software on nintendo devices is almost never on sale and when it is they might be ever so generous and give you like 4% off whereas stuff comes up on steam nearly free quite often.

Are you serious? Obviously the PC version blows the Switch away in terms of performance. But it works fine on the Switch in both modes, it isn't a recent or demanding game so that isn't very surprising tbh.
That said, playing in handheld doesn't really feel like the intended way, everything is kind of too small, but you can deal with it (and should if you're a Switch player, the entire point of that thing besides exclusives like Mario is the portability aspect).
Waiting for a sale means you can get it for about a quarter or third off the full price. yeah Nintendo sucks in that regard. Also, NSO sub is required for online.
You probably wanna check out GameFAQs or the like to friend people for free and good pawns.

PC is better, but playing good games when traveling etc. is also great. If you don't do that frequently, don't buy games for the Switch if they're available on any other current gen platforms.

NSO subscription is not required to access the player pawn rift, nor is it required to access the Switch's online Ur Dragon-- just like all the other console versions.

Really? I thought you need the respective online sub for everything online related that isn't a F2P game.

I had DD on the switch before I had any sub to the Nintendo online thing & I could share pawns & hire friends pawns just fine if that helps.

Not all.

While I'd have to say it's vanishingly rare that any sort of co-op doesn't require those memberships, in this case, the information that goes back and forth between individual players is very small.
