Persona 3 Reload on Switch 2 updated with 60fps performance mode when docked

The Nintendo Switch 2 has been a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to 3rd-party support so far. While some publishers have released impressive ports, others have seemingly done the bare minimum to get the game running on Nintendo’s latest and greatest. One title which seemed to come out of the oven a bit too hot was Persona 3 Reload – being limited to just 30fps. Thanks to further optimisations however, a new update for the Switch 2 version now allows it to run at 60fps (in docked mode at least).

As shared by the publication rpgsite, ATLUS have released a new patch for Persona 3 Reload on Switch 2. Though the list of changes is rather light, patch 1.03 brings with it support for 60fps via a new performance mode alongside improved frame rate stability across the board.

While a relatively uncommon practice so far, this new performance mode is being limited to those playing in docked mode – meaning you will still have to make do with 30fps in handheld.

Given the Switch 2’s 120hz screen, it would have been nice if ATLUS were able to get the handheld version to hit 40fps at the very least. Regardless, having a performance mode option is welcome to see, even if it is limited to docked mode.

KitGuru says: Are you bothered by Persona 3 Reload’s framerate on Switch 2? Is 30fps acceptable for a turn-based game? Should the handheld and docked modes have more parity with one another? Let us know your thoughts down below.
