"On Tuesday, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Anniversary Edition was shadowdropped onto the Nintendo Switch 2. Bethesda promised this port of the classic 2011 open-world RPG was an improvement on the Switch 1 version. And in some ways, that's true. But players are disappointed by how it runs and feels, and by all the space it takes up. The original Skyrim on Switch felt like a big deal at the time in 2017."
"However, for some reason, this 2011 game, which runs at 60FPS or more on almost every other platform, remains stuck at 30FPS on Switch 2, as if it were 2017 all over again. Across Reddit and social media, fans feel that this 30FPS cap is one of the biggest problems with this new port. As many point out, games like Cyberpunk 2077 run at 40FPS on Switch 2, yet Skyrim is still stuck at 30?"
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Anniversary Edition launched unexpectedly on Nintendo Switch 2. The port includes enhanced models and textures that improve visual fidelity compared with the Switch 1 release. Performance remains capped at 30FPS despite the game running at 60FPS or higher on most other platforms, and players note that comparable games achieve higher framerates on Switch 2. Many players report severe input lag in handheld mode, making the game feel nearly unplayable for some. The Switch 2 version occupies about 53 GB, far larger than PC and Xbox Series X/S installs. The large file size and performance issues have generated player frustration.
