Description of the issue

Recently, every update Minecraft Bedrock receives on the Nintendo Switch it tends to get worse and worse performance wise, yesterday I encountered a huge amount of lag in the nether while flying with an elytra. I was trying to activate my firework rockets and didn’t send me flying because of the lag I experienced yesterday and too a while to register that I had used the firework seconds later. Causing me to fall into the huge lake of lava below me.

This keeps happening even if I stop flying for a little while and then resume, I’ve tried to lower my render distance to 6 chunks and still no solution. I also tried to lower the simulation distance and nothing. Absolutely no change what so ever. 

My issue:

When I open minecraft and play or create a new world will be sometimes the game will have lag if i have no build anything and happens aswell when I build something like a house and happens aswell in the main menu.

Steps to reproduce this issue

  1. Open minecraft

  2. Then, wait to be fully loaded the game

  3. Press play, and select a world you want

  4. Play a bit, and observe

Actual result

in the game will lag everywhere in the following section of the game:

(singleplayer, local multiplayer, main menu, marketplace and servers)

Expected result

In the game or in the main menu will be not lag or getting blocked by the lag in the game for a few seconds.

They need to disable background recording and turn on "Boost Mode" Since other games on the switch have utilized this feature to keep up with 60fps games such as smash, hopefully doing that will help with the switch's performance by freeing up more resources to smooth the frames

Cross-posting from a similar ticket I created yesterday (found here: MCPE-178439 )

"Boost Mode" does indeed sound like a great option! Switch version performance seems to be degrading with every new update - Hopefully Mojang can do SOMETHING to remedy the issue.

My family and I used to eagerly look forward to playing Minecraft together on weekends. Now we sometimes avoid playing it altogether, just so we don't have to deal with frustrating lag.

Have searched through various tickets, and it seems like these issues have been known, and reported, for a while.

The Marketplace lag / freezing issues are particularly confusing. I mean, the Marketplace is supposed to be the main way to give Mojang more money. The fact that is it so glitchy, laggy and difficult to use is...Baffling. 

There are DLC packs that I have thought about buying, but decided not to, just because I'm worried they would have significant performance issues.

The more I play MC on my Nintendo switch lite the more performance issue happens. I update my system and game all the time. Trying to redownload the game, clear cash, restart console. But it still long chunk loading happens at start.

As of 1.21.51, the game freezes for about 3 seconds every 45 to 60 seconds, and also freezes for about 3 seconds when the settings screen is closed. Also, while the game freezes, the in-game time continues to progress, which can cause problems with survival. Also, the game freezes frequently on DLC maps, and the same sound is played repeatedly.{*}{*}

My Switch freezes once every 3-5 minutes. Ver.1.21.62

Hi could get ownership of this because will update the issue with steps to reproduce this issue.
