Pokémon Scarlet & Violet's new patch to include "bug fixes" and "add functionality" in February

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet's launch was accompanied by controversy over some graphical details and performance issues on the Nintendo Switch. Faced with this situation, Nintendo promised to continue improving the product in the coming months. After the first patch, The Pokémon Company and Gamefreak are already working on a new update, scheduled for late February.

The information has been revealed in a press release in which they have not specified what will be addressed on these fixes, although they have mentioned that more details will be forthcoming: “Update Ver. 1.2.0, which will include bug fixes and add functionality, is planned to be released in late February. Please look forward to more details soon.”

How did Nintendo respond to the problems?

Nintendo has not remained silent. The complaints that flooded social media when the game was released last year prompted the company to react, which pledged to continue improving the title while apologizing "for the inconvenience". According to their words, they take the users' feedback very seriously.

"We are aware that players may encounter issues that affect the games' performance,” Nintendo mentioned on their official website with the release of the first update. “Our goal is always to give players a positive experience with our games, and we apologize for the inconvenience. We take the feedback from players seriously and are working on improvements to the games."

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet is the latest version that introduces the ninth generation of Pokémon. The Gamefreak production, exclusive for Nintendo Switch, bets again on an open world, a road they took their first steps with Pokémon Legends Arceus.

Following Ash Ketchum's farewell to the original anime, the next series will debut in April 2023. The story will take place in Paldea, the same region we visit in the new video games.
