Bethesda Patches Oblivion Remastered Switch 2 Visual Issues
The October 13, 2026 update addresses a global visual degradation problem introduced by September's patch on Nintendo Switch 2.
Bethesda Game Studios has released a new update for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered on Nintendo Switch 2, aimed at resolving a global visual degradation issue that appeared in the previous update. The patch arrived on October 13, 2026.
According to Kotaku, players who installed the new update report that Oblivion on Switch 2 now looks significantly better and closer to its pre-September appearance. Some players note the game may even be running slightly better than before the visual problems began.
The update is reportedly larger than some had expected, though Bethesda has not detailed its exact contents beyond confirming the fix for the visual degradation.
In late September 2026, a smaller update for Oblivion Remastered on Switch 2 introduced visual issues, including ghosting and blurrier visuals. At the time, some players chose not to install that patch to avoid the downgrade.
Neither Bethesda nor Nintendo has commented further on the matter.
