Pathea has also paid particular attention to improving all aspects of My Time At Sandrock’s performance on Nintendo Switch and the first fruits of this labour are also available as part of this update; framerate performance has been improved across all areas of the game world, 70 – 80% reduction in stuttering and a 90% reduction in level of detail (LOD) pop-in.

Pathea is committed to improving the performance of the Nintendo Switch version of My Time At Sandrock in future content updates as well as the update released today. Expect more news on that work shortly via the official My Time At Sandrock subreddit (www.reddit.com/r/<wbr />MyTimeAtSandrock/)
This Nintendo Switch update aligns all versions of My Time At Sandrock on consoles (Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X), in terms of parity with the 1.0 launch version available on PC. Seasonal updates, as well as more content and improvements, are coming to all console platforms very, very soon.
To celebrate the launch of this new update, My Time At Sandrock is currently available for 20% off its regular RRP on Nintendo Switch until 31st January. There has never been a better time for Nintendo Switch owners to start their adventures in Sandrock.
