19 Feb
Summary
- A new patch introduces a 60fps performance mode option.
- Visual bugs, including water and distant tree anomalies, are fixed.
- The update enhances performance and visual quality for the port.

A significant update has been released for The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Anniversary Edition on the Nintendo Switch 2, addressing key performance and visual issues.
Update 1.2 introduces a new display setting that allows players to select between visual priority, maintaining the original 30fps locked experience with higher fidelity, or performance priority, enabling a smoother 60fps frame rate.
The patch also resolves several reported visual glitches. These include the disconcerting vertical shifting of water bodies when viewed from a distance and an unusual blue tint affecting distant trees and foliage.
These improvements, alongside previous fixes for input latency, make the Skyrim Switch 2 port a much more compelling and enjoyable experience for players.
