Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition Receives Major Update on Nintendo Switch 2 With DLSS Support

Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition has officially launched on the Nintendo Switch 2, solidifying Bethesda’s commitment to bringing its acclaimed post-apocalyptic RPG experiences to Nintendo’s new hybrid hardware.

Following its arrival, Bethesda has swiftly announced that an incoming update will deliver significant enhancements, including support for Nvidia DLSS and additional stability improvements, further optimizing the gameplay for Switch 2 owners. In a recent social media announcement, Bethesda extended gratitude to players who have already ventured into the Commonwealth on the Nintendo Switch 2 platform.

The company confirmed its focus on enhancing user experience by stating that, alongside the existing 60fps and 40fps modes, the next update will introduce DLSS support and targeted stability improvements.

"Thank you to everyone exploring the Commonwealth on Nintendo Switch 2.

In addition to our current 60fps and 40fps modes, we’ll be adding support for DLSS and additional stability improvements in an upcoming update," Bethesda shared with the community. DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is widely recognized for leveraging AI-powered rendering to boost performance and visual fidelity, and its inclusion marks a notable upgrade for the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Fallout 4.

The move ensures smoother gameplay, reduced latency, and improved graphics, enhancing immersion in Fallout 4’s expansive, atmospheric world. While Bethesda has yet to provide a specific release date for the update, their proactive communication reflects lessons learned from earlier Nintendo releases, such as the launch of The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim on Switch 2, which recently received its own performance and visual enhancements.

The focus on post-launch support is clearly aimed at delivering the best experience possible and addressing any issues present in the launch build, reinforcing Bethesda’s reputation for ongoing optimization on Nintendo platforms. This continued attention to detail comes at a time of surging interest in major third-party titles on Switch 2, further cementing the hardware’s appeal to a wide audience.

Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition, celebrated for its depth and mod support on other platforms, now promises Switch 2 users a top-tier experience bolstered by cutting-edge rendering technologies and robust performance options. Players can expect the new update to roll out soon, delivering improved stability and smoother visuals.

Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition is available now on the Nintendo Switch 2 via the Switch eShop, with more updates and detailed reviews forthcoming as the community explores all that this latest release has to offer.
