Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader launches on Nintendo Switch 2 with major performance and stability problems, and Owlcat Games is now releasing a large update in response. Nintendo Life reports that the game’s Switch 2 version faced widespread criticism at launch, including stuttering frame rates, long loading times, laggy or unresponsive menus and controls, graphical downgrades, and hard crashes. Eurogamer similarly describes the port as one of the console’s worst and says Owlcat is attempting to “make things right.” The update is described as “massive” and is set to go live at a specific time window: 4pm BST / 8am PDT / 11am EDT, according to Nintendo Life, which suggests it may already be available for many players by the time articles are read. In addition to the patch, both reports state that downloadable content and expansions are now free, with Owlcat offering all DLC as part of the update package. The exact changes to gameplay, performance, and technical features are not detailed in the provided excerpts, but the update is intended to address issues experienced at launch.
