Bethesda Aware Of Feedback Asking For Additional Oblivion Remastered Patch
Bethesda has acknowledged player requests for a further patch for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, including concerns raised following its Switch 2 release. The company says it is examining whether optimisations made for the Nintendo version can be brought to other platforms, suggesting further support may be planned but without confirming a patch.
On Switch 2, the remaster is playable but has reported frame-rate drops below its 30fps target and an issue where Joy-Con 2 mouse mode does not activate automatically. Bethesda previously issued post-launch patches for Skyrim’s Switch 2 Edition, including a later update that addressed issues and added a 60Hz mode, though Oblivion Remastered is a newer and different release.
In short
- Bethesda acknowledges calls for another Oblivion Remastered patch.
- Switch 2 optimisations may reach other platforms.
- No patch or release date has been confirmed.
Explained simply
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is a role-playing game set in Tamriel, a fantasy world in which players explore, take on quests and shape their character’s journey. Oblivion Remastered is an updated version of the game, released for several platforms, including Nintendo Switch 2.
Bethesda is the game’s publisher, and players have raised concerns about performance and controls on Switch 2. The game aims for 30 frames per second, but reported slowdowns can make movement look less smooth; some players have also said the Joy-Con 2 mouse mode does not turn on automatically.
How the game runs matters to players on each platform, and changes made for one version may or may not suit another. Bethesda has previously updated a different Elder Scrolls game on Switch 2, but that does not establish what support Oblivion Remastered will receive.
