Oblivion Remastered's Switch 2 improvements could come to other platforms, says Bethesda

Oblivion Remastered has by and large been a huge success for Bethesda both critically and commercially, but even more than a year after launch, it still suffers from poor performance including stuttering, frame rate instability, and crashes. The Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game launched today with touchscreen, mouse control, and gyro aiming support, as well as general improvements like DLSS anti-aliasing and "performance optimizations from the original Oblivion Remastered release," according to Bethesda itself. There's been no official sign that these performance improvements are coming to other platforms. Not until now, at least. "We've heard your feedback asking for an additional patch for Oblivion Remastered," reads a tweet from the official Bethesda Twitter account. "The Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game has a number of optimizations that we are looking into bringing to other platforms and we will share more when we are able." We've heard your feedback asking for an additional patch for Oblivion Remastered.

The trademark Bethesda jank is well-reserved and arguably necessary, but random frame rate drops and progress-killing crashes are a straight-up hinderance. Of course, the improvements to the Switch 2 version are frustratingly unspecific, but "performance optimizations" would definitely be welcome on all versions of the game. Hopefully, Bethesda's acknowledgment ultimately manifests into something more than just A Tweet. Oblivion intern tried to outsmart Bethesda's AI and was stunned when his apple murder strategy actually worked: "I can't believe you accounted for this" [/url]
