Bethesda turns Skyrim's rough Switch 2 launch around with an update that quietly adds 60fps mode, leaving fans on the floor: "I wanna cry, it's beautiful"

After a pretty disastrous launch, Bethesda is making some strong improvements to Skyrim on Switch 2. A new patch actually brings a rather momentous improvement, because it unlocks 60fps on the RPG, and players cannot believe their eyes.

In the patch notes for update 1.2 on Switch 2, the top feature is a 60 Hz mode that lets you select to either "Prioritize Visuals" or "Prioritize Performance." Relatively innocuous on its face, the latter does something magic: it unlocks 60fps, in both docked and handheld modes.
