The Switch edition of Outer Wilds has received a new update that adds performance improvements, visual upgrades, and bug fixes. This is Outer Wilds' second update on the Switch since the game launched.
Following the reveal of Outer Wilds coming to Switch back in November, the acclaimed game generated plenty of excitement among Nintendo fans. However, its Switch release came with some drawbacks, most notably its graphical downgrades. While this did not come as a surprise to many fans due to Outer Wilds' expansive nature and the Switch's hardware limitations, some were still disappointed with the game's look on the Nintendo platform. Fortunately for these fans, the game's newest update improved its graphics in certain ways, although the changes don't seem to be too major.
Outer Wilds' April 22 Switch update applies visual improvements to six aspects of the game, including the water on Giant's Deep, the murals in the Old Settlement, holograms on Giant's Deep and the Vessel, and the resolution of lights in the fog of Dark Bramble. The update also fixed a variety of frustrating bugs, like one that caused an infinite load screen while quitting out of Echoes of the Eye and another that caused areas to appear white and lose all item collision while playing the same DLC. Outer Wilds on Switch also received stability improvements during long play sessions and various performance improvements, although these upgrades were not explained in more detail.
The Outer Wilds update included plenty more bug fixes that should help users stay immersed in one of the most atmospheric indie games available. The fixed bugs include the Nomai shuttle floating away after recalling it on Ember Twin, incorrect music playing during certain sequences in Echoes of the Eye, lighting flickering when taking pictures near Dark Bramble, users getting stuck while viewing slide reels, and more.
Developer Mobius Digital Games has not confirmed when fans can expect the next Switch update for Outer Wilds, but in the meantime, users can check out some of Outer Wilds' best-kept secrets spread around its universe. These range from a hidden satellite based on Voyager 1 to a giant, digital cat that purrs.
In terms of spicing the game up, fans who ownOuter Wilds on PC are especially in luck. Outer Wilds features an assortment of mods that add major gameplay improvements or features, as well as minor quality-of-life upgrades. Unfortunately, these are not available to Xbox, PlayStation, or Switch users.
