The remastered version of Alan Wake has been available for Nintendo Switch for quite some time now. It’s one of the first games Remedy developed that natively runs on the Switch hardware. Players were quick to point out some issues with performance and framerate in various sections of the game. Today’s patch aims to address these performance issues.
Remedy announced the update by Tweet, stating performance and framerate should be improved “especially when the game is played in docked mode.” Docked mode allows players to play the game on a larger screen and enables the device to run at faster speeds to allow for better performance, making the game feel smoother and more consistent. No patch notes or further information were published at this time.
The remastered version of Alan Wake features significant visual updates, including higher-quality textures, improved character models, and updated lighting effects. The game’s signature use of light and darkness to create tension is even more impressive with the updated visuals, adding an extra layer of immersion to the game. The Nintendo Switch is an excellent platform for playing games on the go, and the remastered version of Alan Wake is no exception!
