The average game released on the platform this year sees just 1.9% of players retire it, and 284 players complete it. This is the lowest retired rate of any console in the study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest games released on the Switch 2 are as follows: <em>Split Fictio<\/em>n (scoring 34.6 out of 100, where 100 indicates a higher difficulty level), <em>Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma <\/em>(45.3), and <em>Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter <\/em>(47.9 out of 100).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In comparison, the console with the most difficult games &#8211; the <strong>Xbox One <\/strong>&#8211; sees an average retired rate of 3.2% and just 162 players completing a title. <em>Splitgate 2<\/em> was found to be the most challenging game released on the console, with a high 11.8% retired rate and just 21 players marking it as complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second console with the easiest games is the <strong>Xbox Series X\/S, <\/strong>scoring 50 out of 100 for difficulty.
