Explained simply
Rise of the Tomb Raider is an action-adventure game following archaeologist Lara Croft as she explores exotic locations, searching for ancient artefacts and solving puzzles. Originally released in 2015, the game has since been made available on various platforms, including Nintendo's latest console, the Switch 2.
The Switch 2 is Nintendo's most recent handheld gaming device, released as an upgrade to the original Switch from 2017. As games are adapted for new console hardware, developers need to release updates to ensure smooth performance and fix technical problems that might occur.
