System Shock Parity Patch Improves Switch/Switch 2 Performance

Nightdive Studios has released the version 2.1 update for System Shock remake, titled “Parity Patch.” As the name suggests, the System Shock Parity Patch brings parity across all versions of the game, and Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 performance has been improved.

System Shock now runs at 900p docked and up to 720p in handheld with dynamic resolution and a 30 FPS performance target on Nintendo Switch. On Nintendo Switch 2, System Shock now runs up to 1440p at 60 FPS in docked and 1080p 60 FPS in handheld mode. Players also have access to Joy-Con 2 mouse controls in the game on Switch 2, along with gyro aiming.
