Bethesda really dropped the ball with Skyrim on the Nintendo Switch 2. The company released the Anniversary Edition on Tuesday, and it was plagued with bugs and performance issues that players weren't expecting from a 2011 game launched on a 2025 console.
While the original Nintendo Switch had outdated hardware that caused many third-party game ports to run poorly, like Hogwarts Legacy and Ark: Survival Evolved, that shouldn't be the case on the Switch 2. The new console can run Cyberpunk: 2077 at 40 frames per second and Red Dead Redemption at a stable 60, so running Skyrim shouldn't be an issue. That's why players having trouble with the game are blaming Bethesda, not Nintendo, for the rough Anniversary Edition launch.
