Soon after release, players reported issues with the port \u2013 notably with performance.<\/p>\n<p>Blizzard promised that the new Nintendo Switch 2 version would run up to 60 frames per second. However, some fans thought that the Nintendo Switch 1 version was accidentally uploaded since the action felt closer to 30 FPS.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s certainly a disappointment, but Blizzard is at least aware of the situation. The company says it\u2019s \u201caware of issues with Nintendo Switch 2 performance\u201d and is \u201cworking on a patch to resolve this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As of now there\u2019s no ETA on when the update will be available.
