Skyrim for Switch was updated this morning to Ver. 1.1.177.3285177 and the issues are officially fixed. FPS has returned to normal in the bad places like Riften, and the game seems to no longer crash upon Freezing to Death in Survival Mode.
Even after I do this update, sure, fps is buttery smooth like before the AE update on Switch... But I get nothing but crashes. Every 2 fast travels I get a crash. It makes me not wanna do any sidequest or walk around in areas for too long. It's horrible.
Yea, well how about not releasing it in the first place??? Man fuck Bethesda. Despite the new updates, the game is over a fucking decade old. This should've been so optimized that it's running with 60FPS capped on switch at this point.
Thanks so much, I never would have known that the survival mode was added even without the upgrade, now I get to start enjoying it tonight. I love playing with immersion and already didn't fast travel much, time for fun!
That being said; I still have no idea about the stupid infamously broken on switch Meridias Beacon quest. That's not something I'm willing to check because it will crash every freaking single time
Thank you for actually talking about the content! I'm so tired of looking for someone that actually says what's in the update instead of just complaining about how every game is going to cost $70 now.
If tears of the kingdom or some other brand new releases costs $70, then it’s time to panic, but this? I’ve seen the deluxe 2k games for more than $60 and nobody talked about it, I don’t see how this is much different.
Can we petition Fallout 4 on Switch guys? We get Skyrim. No Fallout yet tho. Still waiting. Lol. I'd love to play Fallout 4 on the go. Come on where are Fallout fans? :D ^^
I think it’d be amazing, but that engine might be a bit much for the switch tbh. All of the switch remasters look like ps3/xbox 360 era (red dead, GTA trilogy, Skyrim, etc). I think New Vegas or 3 or both would be more reasonable and achievable tbh.
@@Radbiker33357 We got Switch ports of Hogwarts Legacy, Doom Eternal, No Man's Sky, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Dying Light: Platinum Edition, Persona 5 Royal, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, and lots of other huge games like those. Plus the Nintendo Switch port of Skyrim is actually based on the Special Edition released on PS4/Xbox One, which runs on the Fallout 4 engine. So I doubt Fallout 4 would be that much of a hassle to put on the Switch. But yeah, I'd also love to see Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas get Switch ports as well. I just think Fallout 4 would probably be the easiest for them to port over without messing around with the engine/coding too much.
Supposedly it's the abundance of mods that is causing the framerate stuttering. You could try disabling the one's you don't really use to try and get better performance.
I thought of that, but like the other guy said, you can't disable individual CC Content packs on Switch. We need to wait for Bethesda to optimize it a little more, particularly in the places that the additional content actually adds things to.
Shows you the switch is just weak as hell when can't handle some armor mods which make up 90% of cc content.CC content doesn't make any visual changes at all but switch is weak as hell to handle some mods and switch users want more mods???
The game itself has a list of all the stuff included in the Anniversary Edition. There's more than 70 new additions to the game, so I imagine that's why they didn't list them all on the eShop page.
Shout out to all my fellow Dragonborn, who walked into Riverwood on 11/11/11 and killed a chicken!!! Hahaha. I’ve owned this on every platform (except the one that you can play on your smart fridge) and I’ve never been tired of it. I already had the physical copy for the Switch, so that $20 Anniversary upgrade was a no-brainer.
Survival mode doesn't work. The game crashes if you start to freeze which happens in any cold area (aka half the game) so it's basically unplayable. Since survival mode is the main thing I was excited about, I'm not getting this unless they fix it.
I agree. Main point of anniversary edition. And it does not work. Switch Anniversary edition reviewers need to point these things out. It’s almost like no one uses survival mode and just sees Skyrim on Switch.
Oh really now? Well, my first few hours trying Survival mode were painful. I seriously did not enjoy it one big. And when I tried to take a carriage to Dawnstar, the game crashed every time. I found the regular game to be challenging as is (especially if I'm not using the FortResto exploit). Last thing I need is a massive handicap with the possibility to crash because a torch does not in fact keep you warm.
Ive got the anniversary version for XBX, PS5, the special edition for Xbox, Legendary editions on PS3 & 360, vanilla 360, & legendary version for PC...I just got an oled switch so what do you think my next game is going to be...? 😁
I own Skyrim Anniversary Edition on Xbox Series X and my Xbox One S, but I might get a Switch this Christmas or my birthday in November. If I do, should I get this for Switch because the idea of playing Skyrim on the go is enticing. What do you ppl think? (also was considering Minecraft for the same reason)
I’m so glad Bethesda decided to give the Nintendo Switch version of Skyrim a anniversary update nearly a year after the PS4 Xbox One and PC versions received their anniversary updates and the release of the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions of Skyrim Anniversary Edition
I've been playing the Anniversary Edition on Switch, and wow it's so amazing! It adds so much cool stuff to the game. I especially love the content brought in from the other games like Redguard, Morrowind, Oblivion, and Blades. It's like a microcosm of the entire series! Just one problem though: Some of the locations added by the Anniversary Edition are supposed to play the dungeon music from Oblivion, but I've never gotten any of it to play in the Switch version. I’m sure it's an oversight and has nothing to do with the Jeremy Soule drama, but it's weird that Bethesda never got around to fixing it.
I'm still playing the old Skyrim on Switch.On second playthrough now.Im sure the anniversary edition is great but don't see any point in purchasing when I still got old faithful lol Also seems to run better with less glitches if less save states are used in which I just keep an Auto,Quick and manual save at all times
My issue with the Switch Edition is the small amount of save slots that you can have. So while this looks incredible I'm going to wait until I get a different version of the game so I can have way more save slots
The amount you get is great if you’re a fan of Skyrim. But the frame rate is ABYSMAL in areas where it does happen. Plus the fact that if you play survival mode and hit freezing status the game instantly crashes. They need to fix this fast.
I saw this video before purchasing Skyrim, and was so glad that the priced has been dropped since then to 35.00 , for the whole bundle. I would have been mad if I bought it back then . 😅
@@TheVioletBunny I play it on Steam Deck, plays great. Way better than the Switch can that's for sure. You Nintendo fanboys are hilarious. You have the worst version of Skyrim. Deal with it.
I can't play the Anniversary DLC with a physical switch cartridge without being connected to the Internet. Makes having a physical copy pointless if I can't have DLC to play offline while traveling.
Can’t get mine to even load up at all after the update - played for a while with it (multiple crashes) now it won’t even open Skyrim to the main screen - hopeless
@@XxGamer42069xX If you're complaining about the game's performance, playing it on PC is always an option. If performance is an important aspect of enjoying a game, why would you not play on the most powerful platform?
There’s no clickbait, what are you talking about. Here in the UK it’s £60 if you don’t own the standard edition or £18 if you want the upgrade. Cash grabbing Bethesda style.
Hey I actually have Skyrim on my Nintendo switch and I love the game I played it a lot way back in the day on my Xbox 360 before it died rest in peace my Xbox 360 but I definitely would consider buying this for 20 bucks and also it sounds like fun and I love the game still its amazing so I’ll definitely consider it soon thank you for the review
Totally agree with you there I've got the S1 it's so much better and more confortable playing in handheld mode with the pro controller ,just dug Skyrim out again started it from a new game just contemplating the Anniversary edition
Thanks !! Very thorough review ! Since I already own Skyrim on Switch but havent purchased the anniversary edition, it wasn't clear which content I have access to or not. It's pretty nice how we already have a bunch of new content for free. I'll wait for a patch or sale for the new edition I think.
I got it on day 1 and for 20 dollars it has a ton of new content. I don't think the upgrade will go on sale any time soon. Now that I have all the new stuff, I can't imagine playing without it. Just my opinion, but you may as well get it now if you have the extra cash.
True, It may not have the option to add mods besides what we are given, But the fact I can take skyrim on the go is a must. Not to mention the SPeical Factor of the Amiboo support is like an Exclusive mod too which I don't mind
I bought Anniversary edition on Switch cuz it was on sale. I don't have any of the alternate armors, literally all that shows in Installed Content is Dawnguard, Dragonborn, Fishing, Hearthfire, Rare Curious, Saints & Seducers, and Survival Mode. Any help I don't even have any of the homes like Myrwatch showing up in-game?
Sorry for commenting so much but this patch would have been absolutely perfect if they would have included the open cities mod! I was really hoping they'd include it. Load screens are aggravating
Only real issue I have is that my game crashes whenever I start freezing in survival mode Besides that I can live with the frame rate issues (assuming they are working on a fix) Plus, I am seeing a slight graphics bump (or at least the lighting is much better.)
I have just the free update and I don't have those frame drops in those areas so maybe the graphics aren't the cause? Trust me, I am hyper sensitive to drops and can see a drop of 1 frame and there are no drops for me.
Might be if you purchase the 20$ dlc i have the dlc’s and there are some frame rate issues that weren’t there. But the update alone of the survival and fishing work like a charm at first it all happend after it installed the dlc
Unfortunately i had to delete the anniversary add-on because of the frame drop. "Sigh" goodbye Elemental Spells and Backpacks you will be missed. At least I have my Fishing still. That's legit fun, especially with the unique item you can fish up.
I was disappointed that they eliminated the creation club content section but I am not totally unhappy with this update. It's still adding to Skyrim at the end of the day. I sold my original switch 3 years ago and had Skyrim back then but I remember having access to Creation club back then on Skyrim for the Switch.
Creation Club was never on the Nintendo Switch, only PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. I've owned the Switch version for as long as I've owned a Switch (since 2018), and the Anniversary Edition is the first time any of this stuff was ever on there. And even if Creation Club _was_ on there before (which I know for a fact that it wasn't), the Anniversary Edition includes all 74 Creations in one convenient package.
AMAZING STUPIDITY: I'm amazed that when Skyrim came out for the Switch, that people were shocked that it ran the game well. WTF? They're shocked that a system with MUCH more RAM, and MUCH better GPU can run an old game like Skyrim? When it was originally released on WEAKER platforms? Do people thing that Switch was only designed to run 1980's Donkey Kong or something? LOL! I mean sure, it's annoying it's only in 900p on Switch, but to think that Switch would have a difficult time running an old school game like this is the height of ignorance!!!
See that’s nice and all, but it still runs it at the same frame rate of 30 with slightly better resolution. But yeah I agree, literally anything can run Skyrim
They’re sold at each keep’s general shops like Belethor in Whiterun. They’re not always there, though. I had to pass a few days before he had one to sell me.
*Can any physical copy Skyrim switch owners confirm you can buy the creation club mods and run the hard copy? Or do I have to buy the entire thing digital?*
I have physical, got the update, it's a 7 gb, it's all included can't turn any off can't download more, survival is the only thing that you can turn off or on, but it's game breaking, took me 30 min of playing and looking online to figure it out, game doesn't really tell you much, it says to Check the help menu, but help menu has no info on add on content, all info is in the installed content section of the settings,
@@jameslindemann8812 I have the physical copy, bought the anniversary edition update, I'm not getting any dropped frames whatsoever, also when the prompt to turn off survival mode popped up I shut it off, hasn't negatively affected the game at all so far. Your comment is a couple days old now so it's possible they patched it since you commented this
When I bought the Anniversary Edition for the Switch I was surprised to see I got around the entire Creation Club as well. I don't think the 70 dollar/euro bundle is expensive expensive.
I never beaten it before but I’ve played the original on the 360 when it first dropped and the hype was at an all time high …surprisingly I didn’t really get into it as I was trying to, but on the switch Oled, idk why I missed out, the games amazing and playing it on the go seems like a fever dream sometimes when I actually get into and realize I’m doing all of this in a game …on a handheld console lol an this is someone who started with a gameboy advance from their parents as a Christmas gift, the game is so worth it for the switch atleast if you have an Oled it looks super clean still and “acceptable” as In you’re not going to get a pc performance with solid 60fps but if you grew up without that most of your childhood this seems like going back to like early 2010’s lol
If you only played the Xbox 360 version before this, you'll be in for a pleasant surprise with all the new stuff they added into the Anniversary Edition. Just don't expect anything on par with the expansions from the Legendary Edition like Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn. They do have their limitations. For one thing, none of the Creation Club DLCs add any new voice acting, instead recycling pre-existing voice clips that were already in the data files, and relying on things like written notes to do the rest. Sure it's weird and not very immersive, but it's not that different from most of the minor DLCs from Oblivion, like Fighter's Stronghold and Vile Lair. Besides, Bethesda apparently put restrictions on including more voice acting. Maybe they just didn't want you to run into an NPC who sounded like their voice was coming out of a cheap microphone.
Okay I'm a mom of a game player and I want to become more involved in my child's interests and I'm picking up little by little. So is this whole game first play ( I hope I'm saying that correct, cause I can't see the full body like Zelda)? And what is the very first game for Elder Scroll? I want to start from the beginning so I can know what to say and how to understand what's going on. Oh and thank you to anyone willing to help a mother out.
"First person" view for the most part, yes. However you can switch into third person as well, but it's not very practical (press left analog stick to do that). The first Elder Scrolls game would be Elder Scrolls: Arena, which released in the mid 90s on PC. It's not really necessary though to play earlier titles in the series.
@@mattiskingno problem, just picked it up myself & there's definitely a slight improvement to graphics & lighting/colors of the world & npc/gears/buildings etc. + all the new Gear/Weapons/items/spells/quests ect. for $12 it's good pick up 💯
@@despia_009 ok thanks! I bought it late last night bcz Nintendo has a massive sale on it and was kinda worried but decided to pull the trigger and I've barely put the controller down
Skyrim for Switch was updated this morning to Ver. 1.1.177.3285177 and the issues are officially fixed. FPS has returned to normal in the bad places like Riften, and the game seems to no longer crash upon Freezing to Death in Survival Mode.
Gonna download now since it’s outstanding for what it adds
Also you need to look into the multiple follower glitches from PMS00 already man they’re in vanilla Skyrim
That's awesome stuff I just redownloaded it.
Even after I do this update, sure, fps is buttery smooth like before the AE update on Switch... But I get nothing but crashes. Every 2 fast travels I get a crash. It makes me not wanna do any sidequest or walk around in areas for too long. It's horrible.
The game freezing up when you freeze to death seems more like a feature than a bug..
Ran out of the throne room in Falkreath after the update and saw a mysterious man flying a horse around the town. Needless to say, I’m impressed.
Classic Skyrim
Glitches are still there even on the Nintendo switch....omg..
The framerate drops are a glitch and Bethesda confirmed in my support ticket that they are currently investigating to resolve.
While you are at it, tell them the survival mode bug, which crashes the game back to Home screen, when you hit freezing status.. the game crashes
Good to know they're working on it. They need to fix the missing tempering recipes too (i.e. silver swords and gilded bracers)
>Bethesda
>Investigation or solving a glitch
That's hilarious. Game has been plagued with bugs and crashes since day 1 to upto this day
This is good to know thanks for sharing. I'm going to leave it until they get it patched.
Yea, well how about not releasing it in the first place??? Man fuck Bethesda. Despite the new updates, the game is over a fucking decade old. This should've been so optimized that it's running with 60FPS capped on switch at this point.
Skyrim will always be legendary IMO, I still go back to it every 4-6 months.
Im about to buy it for the 5th time on 4 different consoles…lol
Not that often, but every year or so I return to Skyrim, and with mods
so did you go back ??
Thanks so much, I never would have known that the survival mode was added even without the upgrade, now I get to start enjoying it tonight. I love playing with immersion and already didn't fast travel much, time for fun!
I'm sure most of y'all know by now but the frame rate dropping has been fixed, everything runs just fine
That being said; I still have no idea about the stupid infamously broken on switch Meridias Beacon quest. That's not something I'm willing to check because it will crash every freaking single time

Plus, I am seeing a slight graphics bump (or at least the lighting is much better.)
Do the mods include the unofficial patch? That would make the game worth buying for switch. (After they fix the frame drops)
I have just the free update and I don't have those frame drops in those areas so maybe the graphics aren't the cause? Trust me, I am hyper sensitive to drops and can see a drop of 1 frame and there are no drops for me.
Might be if you purchase the 20$ dlc i have the dlc’s and there are some frame rate issues that weren’t there. But the update alone of the survival and fishing work like a charm at first it all happend after it installed the dlc
Can’t believe after putting off this game these years I’ll finally play this game.. in 720p..
Unfortunately i had to delete the anniversary add-on because of the frame drop. "Sigh" goodbye Elemental Spells and Backpacks you will be missed.
At least I have my Fishing still. That's legit fun, especially with the unique item you can fish up.
Thanks on the review in news if they patched the frame rate issue or should I get the vanilla version
Snagged for $50 CAD, decent deal to always have Skyrim on hand and excellent looking on the OLED
Just picked it up for 35 bucks on the eshop with the game. Good price
I was disappointed that they eliminated the creation club content section but I am not totally unhappy with this update. It's still adding to Skyrim at the end of the day. I sold my original switch 3 years ago and had Skyrim back then but I remember having access to Creation club back then on Skyrim for the Switch.
Creation Club was never on the Nintendo Switch, only PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. I've owned the Switch version for as long as I've owned a Switch (since 2018), and the Anniversary Edition is the first time any of this stuff was ever on there. And even if Creation Club _was_ on there before (which I know for a fact that it wasn't), the Anniversary Edition includes all 74 Creations in one convenient package.
Sold. R2G is the man. Though i miss S2G as well
Anybody else having trouble with the game crashing when it gets too cold?
I have it on Pc but switch has been growing on me. Gonna pick it up the last day it’s on sale
Downloaded the minute I saw it. Love it.
Same bro love this game
Can you add this to the physical copy of the game??
@@xymoriintus yes
Did they add any mods for the vampire or werewolf race
AMAZING STUPIDITY:
I'm amazed that when Skyrim came out for the Switch, that people were shocked that it ran the game well. WTF? They're shocked that a system with MUCH more RAM, and MUCH better GPU can run an old game like Skyrim? When it was originally released on WEAKER platforms? Do people thing that Switch was only designed to run 1980's Donkey Kong or something? LOL!
I mean sure, it's annoying it's only in 900p on Switch, but to think that Switch would have a difficult time running an old school game like this is the height of ignorance!!!
See that’s nice and all, but it still runs it at the same frame rate of 30 with slightly better resolution. But yeah I agree, literally anything can run Skyrim
I hope they separate the hylian tunic to 4 piece, also the headgear make it an earring.
I was really enjoying playing the new download, as from today it keeps crashing
i find it kinda odd you got frame drops in riften i havent yet
Honestly. I think this version of skyrim is most worth it on switch cause there's no mod support normally.
5:18 is soo bad. Definitely gonna wait for them to fix the performance, then I'll wait for a price drop lol
I hope they fix the glitches soon.
Thank you for the drama free review!
Seriously
The first 1:46 was drama but from the other viewpoint...
what i want to know is does this thing fix missing in action?
Where are the backpacks?
They’re sold at each keep’s general shops like Belethor in Whiterun. They’re not always there, though. I had to pass a few days before he had one to sell me.
*Can any physical copy Skyrim switch owners confirm you can buy the creation club mods and run the hard copy? Or do I have to buy the entire thing digital?*
i wanna know the same thing. However currently my special edition is updating.
I have physical, got the update, it's a 7 gb, it's all included can't turn any off can't download more, survival is the only thing that you can turn off or on, but it's game breaking, took me 30 min of playing and looking online to figure it out, game doesn't really tell you much, it says to Check the help menu, but help menu has no info on add on content, all info is in the installed content section of the settings,
Physical is better seeing as you have the option to delete the update and play off the chip, making it nice and smooth again
@@jameslindemann8812 I have the physical copy, bought the anniversary edition update, I'm not getting any dropped frames whatsoever, also when the prompt to turn off survival mode popped up I shut it off, hasn't negatively affected the game at all so far. Your comment is a couple days old now so it's possible they patched it since you commented this
@@xymoriintus try survival mode, I understand not having it is feasible, but I want survival
Just to be sure, that means I can do all the new quests etc on my old safe file. I don't need to make a new character and start over?
Correct. You can do it all on your old file. All the footage of the new quests in this review are from a save I originally made back in 2020.
@@Reviews2Go Ok. Thank you for answering ✨😊
That's very good to know
I don’t think you can get the ring of Hircine and saviours hide anymore
is the paralysis spell and the cure paralysis spell in this version?
When I bought the Anniversary Edition for the Switch I was surprised to see I got around the entire Creation Club as well. I don't think the 70 dollar/euro bundle is expensive expensive.
I never beaten it before but I’ve played the original on the 360 when it first dropped and the hype was at an all time high …surprisingly I didn’t really get into it as I was trying to, but on the switch Oled, idk why I missed out, the games amazing and playing it on the go seems like a fever dream sometimes when I actually get into and realize I’m doing all of this in a game …on a handheld console lol an this is someone who started with a gameboy advance from their parents as a Christmas gift, the game is so worth it for the switch atleast if you have an Oled it looks super clean still and “acceptable” as In you’re not going to get a pc performance with solid 60fps but if you grew up without that most of your childhood this seems like going back to like early 2010’s lol
If you only played the Xbox 360 version before this, you'll be in for a pleasant surprise with all the new stuff they added into the Anniversary Edition. Just don't expect anything on par with the expansions from the Legendary Edition like Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn. They do have their limitations.
For one thing, none of the Creation Club DLCs add any new voice acting, instead recycling pre-existing voice clips that were already in the data files, and relying on things like written notes to do the rest. Sure it's weird and not very immersive, but it's not that different from most of the minor DLCs from Oblivion, like Fighter's Stronghold and Vile Lair. Besides, Bethesda apparently put restrictions on including more voice acting. Maybe they just didn't want you to run into an NPC who sounded like their voice was coming out of a cheap microphone.
Did bathesda fixed the frame drops?
Yes
This is huge for Skyrim on the Switch since you dont have acces to Mods
I'm curious about adopting more then 2 kids in Skyrim (switch version)
Okay I'm a mom of a game player and I want to become more involved in my child's interests and I'm picking up little by little. So is this whole game first play ( I hope I'm saying that correct, cause I can't see the full body like Zelda)? And what is the very first game for Elder Scroll? I want to start from the beginning so I can know what to say and how to understand what's going on. Oh and thank you to anyone willing to help a mother out.
"First person" view for the most part, yes. However you can switch into third person as well, but it's not very practical (press left analog stick to do that).
The first Elder Scrolls game would be Elder Scrolls: Arena, which released in the mid 90s on PC. It's not really necessary though to play earlier titles in the series.
Do come back
Why Bethesda didn't port The Evil Within on switch
Why do I need this 😭. Also why does it run so well?
Is there any way to turn off specific add-ons?
I don’t think so. They’re all just turned on when the update/dlc installs.
So would you say it's worth buying?
Yep
@@despia_009 ok thanks!
@@mattiskingno problem, just picked it up myself & there's definitely a slight improvement to graphics & lighting/colors of the world & npc/gears/buildings etc. + all the new Gear/Weapons/items/spells/quests ect. for $12 it's good pick up 💯
@@mattisking also runs @ a locked fps of 30 even in the bigger cities
@@despia_009 ok thanks! I bought it late last night bcz Nintendo has a massive sale on it and was kinda worried but decided to pull the trigger and I've barely put the controller down
so what im hearing is wait for a sale
Diez this fix the old glitches?
Dude you nailed it with the review
