The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered arrived on Switch 2 earlier this week<\/a>, immediately drawing praise for its well-optimised state. This is actually a bit of a problem – not because of how it runs on Switch 2<\/a>, but rather because of how it continues to run on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X\/S.<\/p>\n

Those versions of the game continue to suffer from frame pacing and stuttering issues, as well as various bugs the developer never fixed<\/a>. Oblivion Remastered’s initial release in April last year didn’t receive the post-launch support many expected for such a high-profile title, especially one still plagued with problems.<\/p>\n

When Oblivion Remastered arrived on Switch 2 earlier this week, however, comparison videos<\/a> appeared to show this latest version – which features a number of expected downgrades compared to PC and big-boy consoles – came with notable performance improvements. Whatever Bethesda did hasn’t completely solved the ever-present frame pacing and stuttering issues, but once again, the framerate appears to be smoother on Switch 2.<\/p>\n

So are those improvements going to be ported back to the PC, PS5 and Xbox versions? The answer appears to be tentative yes. Following Oblivion Remastered’s release on Switch 2 and the subsequent revival of discussions focusing on the issues still dogging other platforms, Bethesda confirmed that it’s working on giving players what they’ve been requesting.<\/p>\n

“We’ve heard your feedback asking for an additional patch for Oblivion Remastered,” Bethesda said on X<\/a>. “The Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game has a number of optimisations that we are looking into bringing to other platforms and we will share more when we are able.”<\/p>\n

Indeed, this isn’t the first time Bethesda has hinted it’s going to return to those versions, telling YouTuber MrMattyPlays last month<\/a> that some of those Switch 2 optimisations “we hope to bring to console\/PC.”<\/p>\n

Whatever Bethesda has in the works for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X\/S, hopefully it’s significant enough to finally improve their technical state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered arrived on Switch 2 earlier this week, immediately drawing praise for its…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":736739,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[59,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-736738","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-gb","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/736738","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=736738"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/736738\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/736739"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=736738"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=736738"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=736738"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
