Free or paid? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] missingno@fedia.io 3 points 1 year ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Phelpssan@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago Good info, thanks! permalink fedilink source parent [–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Phelpssan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago Let's hope it's the case, I would be very happy with some upgrade patches for the Trails games. permalink fedilink source parent [–] catloaf@lemm.ee 1 point 1 year ago They'll probably add more later, but they'll still almost entirely not be major games. permalink fedilink source parent [–] TAG@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago Do other games need a major performance patch? permalink fedilink source parent
