As a devoted Nintendo enthusiast, it’s been barely two months since the arrival of the Nintendo Switch 2, and what a whirlwind it’s been! The new system has already seen many games from the original Switch receiving upgrades, primarily those developed by Nintendo, like “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild” and “Pokemon Scarlet and Violet”. But it’s not just Nintendo capitalizing on the technological advancement; third-party developers have also jumped on board, enhancing visuals and frame rates for existing games. This morning, another game from the Switch library received an unexpected upgrade on the Switch 2, with no prior announcement from the developers.
Within the past week, SOMA became available for play on the Nintendo Switch, and its developers, Frictional Games, along with publishers Abylight Studios, have quickly rolled out an update for the game. As stated in a recent press release, this update enhances the resolution of SOMA on Nintendo Switch 2, providing a more stable refresh rate, enhanced textures, and decreased loading times. This is fantastic news for newly acquired players, particularly since it comes at no additional cost. Moreover, these upgrades might persuade undecided Nintendo Switch 2 owners to purchase the game. Abylight Studios even shared side-by-side comparisons on their X/Twitter account, demonstrating the noticeable improvements.
The update for SOMA on the Nintendo Switch 2 has been released! Here’s what you can expect:
– Enhanced screen resolution.

Excitingly, Abylight Studios has confirmed that additional enhancements are in store for the Nintendo Switch 2 version of SOMA. At present, they’ve kept the specifics under wraps, but it seems they intend to release new updates with unique features over the next few weeks. For now, we can only speculate what these might entail, but here’s hoping that the developers discover more ways to elevate this gameplay experience on Nintendo Switch 2!

It’s encouraging to see potential enhancements for Soma on the Switch 2, as this may indicate better things to come from various developers. There are many Switch 1 games that could benefit from upgrades in both visuals and performance. If developers can fully utilize the new system’s capabilities, particularly in terms of improved frame rate and graphics, it might persuade new players to explore games they previously overlooked.
