Bloodstained team “immediately shifting resources to improve performance and stability for the Switch”
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night made its long-awaited debut on Switch today. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been without issues. Many Switch players have been taking notice of significant performance issues, which seem to be more pronounced than on other platforms.
The good news is that the team has been listening and is looking to take action as soon as possible. In a Kickstarter update, 505 Games community manager Jason Ryan said: “To address the concerns brought up by the community we are immediately shifting resources to improve performance and stability for the Switch.”
Here’s the full update from Ryan:
We have been listening to the feedback regarding Switch performance. Our goal is for everyone, regardless of platform, to be able to enjoy the game and have it run smoothly. We want to live up to your, and our, expectations.
Throughout the QA process we have been addressing performance issues in the game. Update 1.01 was published to Switch prior to launch to add content and improve performance. It did not accomplish as much as we had hoped and we need to do more.
To address the concerns brought up by the community we are immediately shifting resources to improve performance and stability for the Switch. You can expect a number of small updates that will improve different areas of the game rather than waiting longer for one big update. We will have more details as we dive into the work.
We thank you for your patience and apologize for the inconvenience.
