Sure, you can play as Aloy in Fortnite on the Nintendo Switch, but GamesRadar spotted one player who has taken it a step further by playing Horizon Zero Dawn on their modded console.
Reddit user Snom-Leader has modded their Switch to run Lineage OS. That allowed for them to install PSPlay so that they could stream their PS4. With that, they connected to their PlayStation console to play some Horizon Zero Dawn. With good internet and a bit of ingenuity, you could pull this off yourself. However, we don't recommend it: Nintendo isn't exactly fond of modding its consoles.

Joy-Cons are seemingly compatible through PSPlay so Snom-Leader didn't run into any trouble with their controllers when playing. What's more, the footage shown is on self-proclaimed poor wi-fi, so it could look even better with faster internet. However, the max resolution for handheld maxes out at 720p.
You can't do this on your own Switch if you were thinking of taking the risk of voiding your warranty and ending up on Nintendo's hitlist, though. Snom-Leader said, "Unfortunately, only the original Switches are hackable: Nintendo patched stuff really fast.
"[The Switch in the video is the] Hac-001. unpatched. I had to look everywhere to find it and it wasn't cheap."
Given that remote play supports next-gen platforms, a hacked Switch could feasibly play the likes of Demon's Souls, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, and Spider-Man: Miles Morales. That would certainly be a perplexing sight. For now, though, it doesn't look like Sony is going to be branching out of PlayStation beyond PC with its first-party IPs.
