[LordCBH]

lol, and all the save memory issues due PS3 split RAM structure.

 

[LordCBH]

Apparently it's 30 fps, but it has DLSS AA.

How do you not get 60 fps, my pc in 2011 was running it at that.

Because Bethesda currently employs some of the most incompetent people in the industry.

 

[roosnam1980]

no 60 fps even in docked mode is laughable.
maybe switch 3 edition of skyrim will get 60fps.

 

[Arsic]

Ah Hodd Toward. The giga chad of games.

30fps at $60. Eat shit gaymers.

 

[Zuzu]

This update is a joke. What an incompetent and mediocre company.

 

[Zathalus]

Yeah game worked fine on my old pc with a Nividia 980gtx graphic card.

That GPU is like twice as powerful as the Switch 2 when docked. But even then it should be able to handle 1080p/60 on the Special Edition when docked (just barely).

 

[Zathalus]

Because Bethesda currently employs some of the most incompetent people in the industry.

Currently? They always have. Skyrim and Oblivion on PS3 comes to mind. Even Morrowind on Xbox was so badly coded it had to restart the console in the background during loading to free up RAM.

 

[L*][*N*K]

Free Switch upgrade, nice.
Great game.

I didn't get that, I own the physical Skyrim game that came out in 2017 and I didn't get a free upgrade, is there a reason for that?

 

[Physiognomonics]

Most games on Switch 2 have the same framerate as the PS4 version with better IQ. It is what it is.

The problem is the CPU.

 

[MDSLKTR]

"Optimized performance" and it's 30 fps?

 

[Mr Moose]

I didn't get that, I own the physical Skyrim game that came out in 2017 and I didn't get a free upgrade, is there a reason for that?

I think you need to have the Anniversary Edition for free upgrade. Let me do some snooping to check.

If you already own The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on Switch then you can pick up the Switch 2 version for a small cost — or maybe even free. You see, the Switch 2 version is the fancy Anniversary Edition, which includes the three official expansions that have been released, plus hundreds of Creation Club items. If you have the standard version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on Switch, then, you can upgrade to the Switch 2 Anniversary Edition for £17.99. And if you own the Anniversary Edition on the original Switch, you can upgrade to the Switch 2 version for free.

£17.99? Fuck that.

 

[Wilhelm_85]

Man... I got all excited for this, but 30 fps? What the fuck? Sheer incompetence.

 

[kiphalfton]

Have yet to play this game.

... Despite owning 2-3 different versions of it

 

[Saber]

Its Bethesda, what you guys expect? lol
Whoever buys this shit deserve all the bad things happening since 30 fps is just the tip of iceberg. Almost sure this version brings even more bugs and glitches.

 

[Spukc]

Fuckers didnt even put it on Sale on Switch ... 60 Euros for an old shit game LMAO FUCK MY ASS

Game was on sale weeks ago for 20
Same like the fps on switch 2

How the fuck is this not 60fps.
And 50GB ON SWITCH BRO

 

[Rob_27]

Free for me. but 30 FPS. Bah.

 

[Baemono]

Most games on Switch 2 have the same framerate as the PS4 version with better IQ. It is what it is.

The problem is the CPU.

Not PS3 games, no. We have already several examples of PS3-gen open-world games running at 60fps on Switch 2 (which the PS4 couldn't do).

This is just laziness.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Have yet to play this game.

... Despite owning 2-3 different versions of it

Blasphemy

 

[Spukc]

Cool update tho..

Physical owners can upgrade and not use the game cart anymore.

So resell it is

 

[Mr Hyde]

The Switch 2 Anniversary edition currently sells for 65£ on the Eshop.

15 year old game. 30fps.

EAT. MY. SHORTS.

 

[Guerilla Munch]

30fps Skyrim for SIXTY American dollarydoos lmaooo

If TotK can run at 60fps then there is no excuse for this disgraceful slopjob

 

[Fake]

Running an old game like that at 30 fps is lazy in another level.

 

[Deerock71]

Damn was expecting Ovlivion first TBH… maybe next year. I'm holding out on Skyrim for the WebOS version myself.. it's surly coming

It's coming. And don't call me Surly.

 

[R6Rider]

Laughable

 

[Ellis]

When's the iOS release?

I'm surprised they haven't done this. That Apple silicone wipes the floor with everything else in the mobile chipset space. If Skyrim is going to work well on mobile, it'll be iPhone.

 

[Topher]

According to Reddit it's still 30fps. Kind of disappointing as this is an old ass game.

It is absurd if true

 

[Stitch]

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

No 60 fps is true what the fuck????

 

[DanEON]

Good. I was already playing it on my switch 2, so better than nothing. There is mouse control now too.

 

[Certinty]

Anyone justifying a 2011 game being rereleased on 2025 hardware at 30fps needs a reality check.

 

[Same ol G]

For the people who have the physical edition and the anniversary upgrade.

Delete all the gamedata on your switch and unload the virtual gamecard for the dlc.

Put the cartridge back in and reload the files, say no when it asks you to download the virtual card.

Now press Y when in the main menu, the game will load the storepage with the free version and if i'm right i don't need the cartridge anymore to play the game.

 

[Woody337]

everyday I regret getting the switch 2.

£17.99? Fuck that.

£17.99 is the price of the standard Anniversary upgrade for Switch. It goes on sale for £8.99 every 6 weeks or so, slightly more palatable but they should have done a dual free upgrade including for people who just own the base game.

 

[falling into hell]

That GPU is like twice as powerful as the Switch 2 when docked. But even then it should be able to handle 1080p/60 on the Special Edition when docked (just barely).

Really? I thought the Switch 2 was much faster than a 980 gtx.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

But does it support the mouse feature..?!

 

[Banjo64]

Considering I only expect the bare minimum from Bethesda this has actually surprised me. The textures being used here are a big improvement and the resolution looks markedly improved also for a very clean and nice image.

 

[Ceadeus]

But does it support the mouse feature..?!

Yes

 

[Panajev2001a]

30 FPS Switch 2 edition …

 

[xBlueStonex]

The input lag is absolutely horrendous. Like, borderline unplayable.

 

[Icymanipulator]

I'm surprised they haven't done this. That Apple silicone wipes the floor with everything else in the mobile chipset space. If Skyrim is going to work well on mobile, it'll be iPhone.

I'd probably quadruple dip

 

[touchfuzzy]

everyday I regret getting the switch 2.

You can't be mad at your console for a lazy port job. Switch 2 is more than capable of running Skyrim Anniversary at 60 fps, devs are just lazy.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Quietly, the Switch 1 version of Skyrim ran very well and looked quite good for what it was. The only thing that kinda sucked was long load times but that should probably have been expected when trying to load off the slow Switch storage

Oh well. I hope Skyrim gets ported to Apple TV and Samsung Smart Fridge soon

 

[Danjin44]

Another Skyrim re-release….

 

[Plague Doctor]

How can you expect this to be more than 30 fps on a Switch 2? What a grand and intoxicating innocence. How could you be so naive?

 

[Bonkerzzz]

Really? I thought the Switch 2 was much faster than a 980 gtx.

Nope. The Switch 2 GPU is a bit behind the 980 in raw rasterization performance. The Switch 2 tops out around 3 TFLOPS docked, while the 980 delivers about 5.

 

[kevboard]

I read on Reddit that it's an unplayable mess with insane input lag and lots of crashes

 

[nordique]

If this is 60fps then I'll grab the upgrade today.

Unfortunately

It is not. It should be.

 

[nordique]

Release day Skyrim on PS3 is peak gaming. Cinematic 24 fps and dragons flying backwards.

Remember how the ps3 version specifically would crash as well.

Good times indeed.

 

[kevboard]

Really? I thought the Switch 2 was much faster than a 980 gtx.

it's closer to a 960 than a 980
