Oblivion Remastered Is Fine On Switch 2, But Fans Want A PS5 Patch
Kotaku • • technology
Key Points:
- The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered launched on Nintendo Switch 2 on August 11, running well and looking solid due to optimizations like DLSS upscaling enabled by the console’s Nvidia hardware.
- Fans are frustrated that the Switch 2 version appears better optimized than the versions on PS5, Xbox, and PC, which still suffer from bugs, crashes, and performance problems despite two patches since last year.
- Bethesda acknowledged the feedback and confirmed plans to bring some of the Switch 2 optimizations to other platforms in a future update, though no specific release date for the patch has been announced.
- The physical Switch 2 version has sold out quickly at many retailers, with Bethesda promising additional stock will arrive later this month to meet demand.
- While the Switch 2 port is more stable, it is not without issues like frame-pacing problems, but overall it offers a sharper and smoother experience compared to the Series S version.
