"In December 2025, Bethesda shadowdropped the 15-year-old open-world RPG The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim onto the Nintendo Switch 2. But unlike the last time the company surprise released an Elder Scrolls game, the reaction to Skyrim on Switch 2 wasn't positive. Many players were upset over the game's poor performance, visual glitches, bugs, and bloated install size. Well, Bethesda has fixed some of these problems with a new update out now on Nintendo's hybrid handheld."
"On Tuesday, Bethesda released update 1.2 for Skyrim on the Switch 2. The big news is that this free patch added a 60FPS performance mode. Bethesda has also locked Skyrim's framerate to 30FPS when playing in "Prioritize Visuals" mode. Either choice should provide a smoother, more stable experience compared to what Skyrim on Switch 2 played like previously."
Bethesda released Skyrim on Nintendo Switch 2 in December 2025, and many players reported poor performance, visual glitches, bugs, and a large install size. Update 1.2 introduces a free 60FPS performance mode and locks the framerate to 30FPS in 'Prioritize Visuals' mode, giving players a choice between visual fidelity and smoother performance. The patch includes fixes for performance in areas such as the Talking Stone giant camp and combat at Secunda's Kiss, and addresses distant or menu-rendered water issues. Bethesda continues to deploy fixes for the port, while PC players can also rely on modders for additional improvements.
