The Switch-exclusive Deadly Premonition 2 is odd in a lot of ways – its very existence came as a surprise to many – but while the game’s quirkiness is generally celebrated, few were satisfied by its performance, with the game’s framerate in outdoor areas often tanking to levels rarely seen in modern gaming.
Thankfully a new patch has arrived that, while not eradicating the frame rate problems entirely, has made the experience smoother. You can check out video comparisons courtesy of Twitter user DartMonkey below:

We’ll just have to wait and see if more patches are on the way to make the experience even smoother.

Whether it’s an exciting new entry in a series long established or a weird experiment meant only for the dedicated, Tom is eager to report on it. Rest assured, if Nintendo ever announces Elite Beat Agents 2, he’ll be there.
