Pokémon Scarlet and Violet gets anticipated free update in time for Switch 2

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet was infamous for its clunky release, with glaring performance issues that left a sour taste in a lot of player's mouths.

Finally, with the release of a more powerful console, it may be time to revisit Gen 9.

Latest update: Ver. 4.0.0 (Released June 2, 2025)
The following updates have been made when playing the game on Nintendo Switch 2:
General
Visuals: Optimized for the Nintendo Switch 2 display and high-resolution TVs for improved image quality.
Frame rate: Improved for smoother movement on Nintendo Switch 2.#

The game will now run at a smooth 60FPS, the footage below showcases what that looks like in game.

This is an update, so you will need to do this on your original Switch. For more information, check out the patch notes.
