VGC recently travelled to The Pokémon Company to test Pokémon Scarlet & Violet on Nintendo Switch 2.

This update, which will be free for all players who own the original game, will be released on Nintendo Switch 2 launch day, June 5.

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet was released in 2022 on Nintendo Switch. The game was met with criticism from fans due to performance issues, including frame-rate problems, low level of detail, and frequent bugs.

The new update introduces a much-needed performance boost and enhanced visual effects. You can read more about VGC’s hands-on with Pokémon Scarlet & Violet on Nintendo Switch 2 here.
