Now, as the game launches on Switch 2, Bethesda has put out a tweet acknowledging the situation, and stating that they are attempting to port optimisations designed for the Switch 2 version to the game on other platforms, such as PS5, Xbox Series X\/S and PC.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a welcome note, albeit one that has come much later than expected in the game&#8217;s lifetime. The game is a complex beast technically speaking, with the original code running underneath an Unreal Engine 5 veneer, but at present the game on PS5, Xbox and PC still doesn&#8217;t live up to its clear potential.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve heard your feedback asking for an additional patch for Oblivion Remastered. 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.\u2014 Bethesda Game Studios (@BethesdaStudios) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BethesdaStudios\/status\/2087193201249522113?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">August 11, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve not yet had a chance to comprehensively test the Switch 2 version for ourselves, but some reports online suggest it&#8217;s in a somewhat better place in terms of performance and stability compared to the extant PS5 and Xbox Series X versions. If that&#8217;s true, then perhaps there&#8217;s some hope that the game will become a whole lot better on console &#8211; even if it&#8217;s disappointing that it would have taken at least 15 months for the game to get to that point!<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve just started our Switch 2 analysis, with Tom taking the lead there, so we&#8217;ll follow up with a full review once it&#8217;s ready &#8211; thanks for your patience.
