I followed this up with Todd Howard in an interview afterwards and asked what he meant. credit//Bethesda Softworksĭuring a talk at Gamelab last week, Bethesda Game Studios' head honcho Todd Howard said, "Skyrim Switch has a big community that we haven't supported the way we'd like." In an interview with Eurogamer, Howard explained that the company's resources were all off doing other things and that no one had been assigned to work mod support for the Switch port. How do we know this? Bethesda Softworks' own Todd Howard said so. Apparently, the game has absolutely no mod support for it. Would you consider getting this mod for your Nintendo Switch? Let us know below in the comments.In case you've been waiting to do some kind of modding with the Nintendo Switch version of Skyrim, you may be out of luck. In general, the best performing game was found to be Mario Kart, as it is just as smooth and crisp in portable mode as it is while docked. There are even some cases where the portable mode looks better than docked mode. For many titles like Super Mario Odyssey, Breath of the Wild, and Doom, it is now possible to see the exact output resolutions and get a better idea of how each game handles dynamic resolution. The results vary depending on the title tested. Digital Foundry found that the system UI in particular (which is rendered at 720p in both docked and portable modes) benefits greatly from the portable mode upscaling.Īs direct video capture of the portable mode output is now possible, the team at Digital Foundry took the opportunity to dive into performance measurements for many of the top games to determine which resolutions the games run at while portable, along with showing how these games run.
It is possible to get 1440p or 4K output from the handheld and the results can genuinely improve the visual quality of the presentation, depending on the game. The capture software included with this new mod allows for upscaling of the Switch’s video output. The folks over at Digital Foundry took this new mod for a spin and explain how it works and how it changes the way we measure the performance of games running in portable mode.
Because this mod uses USB for its output, a separate PC or laptop is required for operation, but this also allows for some neat possibilities. Katsukity, the company behind the mod, offers to convert your Switch for $199.99 or will sell you a new Switch with the mod installed for $545.99. While most people who want to capture the video output of a Nintendo Switch for streaming or press purposes have always used the HDMI output of the device’s docked mode, a new hardware mod from the makers of similar 3DS mods allows video output from the handheld console while it plays in portable mode.
