Skyrim's Many Re-Releases Have Become "A Bit Of A Joke," Dev Says
"Bethesda's Matt Carofano, the creative director for the just-released Switch 2 Anniversary Edition of Skyrim, told Nintendo Life that, "It's a bit of a joke at this point how often we release Skyrim." Carofano said Skyrim is a "great game" and the goal in releasing the game in so many places is to help it reach more people "in the best way possible.""
""A lot of it was really just focusing on taking advantage of the new hardware. We can use DLSS now and get better resolution, better performance, and the game loads faster," he said. "Switch 2 has the Joy-Con 2 controllers that let you use mouse controls, so we added that. A lot of it is really just, 'How do we take advantage of the Switch 2? What can it do? And [how can we] give players the best version of Skyrim for that console?'""
"Bethesda previously put Skyrim on the original Switch, so creating a native Switch 2 version was "really an easy development process" and a "pretty quick" job to do, at least compared to Bethesda's traditional development timelines. Skyrim for Switch 2 launched this week and people quickly discovered numerous issues, including input delay. Bethesda said it is now investigating reports of performance issues, but there is no timeline or further details for when fixes will be available."
Skyrim has been reissued on numerous platforms since its 2011 debut, to the point that a Bethesda developer called frequent releases "a bit of a joke." The Switch 2 Anniversary Edition aims to reach a new generation of players and was relatively quick to develop because of a prior Switch port. Bethesda implemented Switch 2-specific enhancements including DLSS for better resolution, improved performance and faster load times, plus Joy-Con 2 mouse controls. The game launched on Switch 2 this week but players reported several issues such as input delay. Bethesda is investigating performance reports but has provided no timeline for fixes.
