Skyrim: Anniversary Switch Players Seem To Be Experiencing Performance Issues
Earlier this week, the Switch received the Anniversary Edition of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. As amazing as it is to finally have this particular version of the game on Nintendo’s hybrid system, it seems some players are encountering performance issues.
A number of Skyrim: Anniversary Switch users are reporting frame rate issues – including stuttering and frame rate drops. Others are supposedly experiencing crashes more regularly now, with a lot mentioning how they’ve been playing the game’s Survival Mode. Here’s a look at one of the videos blowing up on the Nintendo Switch subreddit right now:
This is impacting players who have installed the anniversary content, with the base game still “silky smooth” according to some users. Some suggestions are to try a fresh install if these performance issues persist. Issues like this can often be resolved or at least improved across a series of patches, so hopefully, Bethesda takes note.
The Anniversary Edition of Skyrim comes packed with the base game, add-ons (Dawnguard, Hearthfire and Dragonborn), and a load of Club Creation content like quests, dungeons, bosses, weapons and spells. There’s fishing, too.
If we hear any other developments, we’ll let you know.
