    covers most of the first party games

    Which gets me thinking... have we seen any announcement for third party game upgrade patches? Free or paid?

    Deltarune - Not sure if this is being categorized as a patch, but if you buy it on Switch 1 you can upgrade to the Switch 2 version for free.

    Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma - $10 upgrade pack. Interestingly, the Switch 2 physical is a special cart that can boot the Switch 1 version on legacy hardware, or the bundled upgrade pack on Switch 2.

    I believe those are the only two so far, and they're cross-gen launch titles rather than any older releases. Sega on the other hand is notably not doing this, they're porting a few of their Switch 1 titles at full price with no upgrade option.

      I'm curious how much valve is gonna charge for the steamdeck 2 game upgrades.

      They are so bad at business they will probably forget to charge me, just like they did for my steam online subscription to play online multiplayer steam games...

          Pokémon Scarlet & Violet seem the obvious beneficiaries from that list. Any improvements made to their atrocious performance would feel significant.

            Not yet. It's quite possible that many third party devs, specially the smaller and indie ones don't have access to Switch 2 dev kit. I am hoping there would be patches as more and more devs get access to it.

                Let's hope it's the case, I would be very happy with some upgrade patches for the Trails games.

                    Don't worry, he plans on being immortal. Shouldn't be an issue.

                      I can imagine a venture capitalist taking over steam and how quickly it would turn to shit

                        Steam deck, or a variant, is all I am doing for handhelds any more.

                        I won’t buy Nintendo products anymore.

                        Isn't Steam even more always online?

                          This is a pathetically short list

                          Do other games need a major performance patch?
