Switch 2 revitalises Pokémon Scarlet and Violet with better performance and image quality
Nintendo's free Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Switch 2 upgrade breathes new life into the game, solving image quality and performance concerns - largely speaking.
Rudimentary lighting, low-res textures and stiff animation afflicted these open-world efforts, while performance dropped below the 30fps target nearly constantly and image quality also suffered. Both modes seem to use a relatively cheap form of DLSS in performance terms, based on characteristic image breakup on moving objects we've observed in other Switch 2 titles like Fast Fusion. This is obviously far preferable to the original Switch's performance profile, but it's a little bit disappointing that the deployment of the advanced T239 processor can't bring the game to a solid 60.
