We’re still eagerly awaiting news about The Elder Scrolls 6, but in the meantime, Bethesda has released Skyrim for the Switch 2. Unfortunately, players are experiencing input lag that makes the game difficult to enjoy, though the developers are working on a fix and have offered a temporary workaround.
If you’re experiencing lag in Skyrim on the Switch, Bethesda Support suggests a quick fix: go to Settings, then Gameplay, and turn off ‘Gestures Attack’. They’re still looking into the cause of the lag, so this might not completely solve the problem, but it could improve performance.
Skyrim was unexpectedly released on Nintendo’s console this week. However, players quickly discovered issues with how the game registers controls, leading to slow and frustrating gameplay, both when played on the go and while connected to a TV.
While getting games to work on new platforms and making them run smoothly can be difficult, players are especially frustrated with the current situation surrounding Skyrim. The game is already twelve years old and runs well on the original Switch, so these issues are unexpected. Adding to the frustration, upgrading to the new version requires players to manually delete the older version from their console.
Unfortunately, this re-release from Bethesda isn’t going as smoothly as some had hoped, continuing a pattern the company is known for. It’s particularly disappointing considering the Remastered version of Oblivion launched successfully earlier this year. We’ll share any updates or fixes as soon as they’re released.
