After giving it 2 patches and dropping it like a stone, Bethesda promises to bring Switch 2 optimisations to Oblivion Remastered on other platforms

PC Gamer · 2 months ago

Bethesda has confirmed that performance improvements made for the Nintendo Switch 2 version of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered will eventually be brought to other platforms, after the game received only two patches before support appeared to stall. The move matters because Oblivion Remastered launched to strong interest earlier in 2025 but has been dogged by ongoing performance complaints on PC and consoles, and players had grown frustrated at the apparent lack of continued optimisation work following the initial post-launch fixes.

The Switch 2 edition, which arrived later, benefited from specific technical tuning to run on Nintendo's less powerful hardware, and Bethesda has now said those optimisations will be ported across to PC, PlayStation and Xbox versions. No firm release date or full changelog has been given for when these improvements will land, leaving affected players waiting to see how much of a practical difference the update makes to performance.

  • Bethesda will bring Switch 2 performance fixes to other Oblivion Remastered platforms.
  • The game had only two patches before support seemed to stop.
  • Players have criticised ongoing performance issues since launch.
