Bethesda finally "looking into" patching Oblivion Remastered on PC, PS5 and Xbox amid praise for Switch 2 release
The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered arrived on Switch 2 earlier this week , immediately drawing praise for its well-optimised state.

As Bethesda's Oblivion Remastered launched on Nintendo Switch 2 earlier this week, it garnered praise for its smooth performance. However, this is actually quite concerning, not due to the game's excellence on Switch 2, but rather because PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of the game still experience frame pacing and stuttering issues alongside various bugs that the developers never fixed.
When Oblivion Remastered debuted on April of last year, many expected more post-launch support for a high-profile title still plagued with problems. While there have been comparisons showing the Switch 2 version with performance upgrades, the frame pacing and stuttering issues still persist. It appears Bethesda might be addressing these concerns, as the company confirmed working on a patch for Oblivion Remastered.
Bethesda stated that they received feedback requesting an additional patch for the game, and they are looking into bringing the Nintendo Switch 2 optimizations to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. They have previously hinted at bringing some of the Switch 2's optimizations to other platforms. It remains to be seen if Bethesda's efforts will be sufficient to improve the technical state of Oblivion Remastered on these platforms.
