- The last Skyrim Switch 2 Edition patch fixes port performance issues
- A 60fps performance mode has been added
- Some intrusive visual bugs have also been fixed
Bethesda Game Studios has released another big patch for The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Anniversary Edition – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. And it’s one that squarely addresses my biggest problem with the port.
Update 1.2 was detailed in a post from the official Bethesda Game Studios account on X/Twitter. It contains the usual handful of fixes you’d expect, including fixing crashes, visual bugs, control issues, and more.
However, the biggest change comes with the addition of an honest-to-goodness performance mode option. Port display settings now have a toggle that allows players to switch between visual priority and performance priority.
The first is the Switch 2 version as you know it; a locked 30fps with sharper visual quality. The new “prioritize performance” setting trades some of that fidelity for a higher cap of 60fps.
Some other visual quirks I noted in my review of the Switch 2 port also appear to have been fixed. At launch, the water bodies would shift vertically uncomfortably when viewed from a distance. Additionally, distant trees and foliage would take on a strange blue hue. The patch notes also directly address these issues.
Overall, this is a robust patch that appears to fix a lot of major and minor issues with Skyrim Switch 2 port, making it much easier to recommend now.
The first patch was also quick to resolve its input latency issues shortly after launch, so you don’t have to worry about that anymore either.
