Update [Mon 2nd Jun 2025, 6:17pm]:<\/strong> Just in case you needed another look at the gameplay, here’s Felix and Zion to run you through the footage and get you some off-screen footage of the Nintendo Today trailer.<\/p>\n

Original Story:<\/strong> Pokemon Scarlet & Violet<\/a> is one of the big headlining games getting a free performance update<\/a> when the Switch 2 launches this Thursday, 5th June. And now Nintendo has shared some gameplay footage showcasing that new, buttery-smooth frame rate.<\/p>\n

And it is indeed buttery-smooth, and at 60fps. The footage was shared on the Nintendo Today! app and shared on Bluesky by OatmealDome<\/a>. The Bluesky compression hasn’t helped here, but if you check the app yourself, you can clearly see a huge improvement on Scarlet & Violet’s performance.<\/p>\n

If you don’t have the app, or aren’t convinced, here’s the clip as uploaded to the Pokemon subreddit<\/a>. It’s not quite as clean as the Nintendo Today app footage, but close!<\/p>\n

It’s an absolutely massive improvement on the Switch 1 performance, which was frankly not great and easily our biggest criticism of the game. Of course, we won’t really know how it runs until we have a Switch 2 in our hands, but this early look gives us a little bit of hope.<\/p>\n

We’ve already seen some screenshots of the Switch 2 update for Scarlet & Violet<\/a>, but we’re getting free updates<\/a> for a bunch of other Switch 1 games too. Have a look at our list to see whether your favourites are getting a patch.<\/p>\n

Will you be replaying \u2014 or even playing \u2014 Pokemon Scarlet & Violet on Switch 2? Let us know in the comments below.<\/p>\n
