Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment Launches on Switch 2 With Day-One Patch, Two Free Updates Planned

Independent testing details dynamic resolution scaling, mostly 60 fps gameplay, 30 fps split-screen.

Overview

  • Released November 6, the Switch 2 exclusive arrives alongside Version 1.0.1, which fixes split-screen, GameShare and progression bugs and adds a Y-button shortcut for Aside Quests.
  • Digital Foundry reports dynamic resolution during gameplay (roughly 720–900p docked, 468–648p portable) with a 60 fps target that can dip into the 50s.
  • Local co-op runs at 30 fps, most cutscenes are pre-rendered at 30 fps with visible compression, and split-screen shows uneven frame pacing according to the analysis.
  • The official Zelda Musou account says two free updates are planned, with no dates or content details yet shared.
  • Coverage highlights progression that leans on side and Aside Quests, differing reports on the playable roster size (IGN lists 19, others cite up to 28), non-playable status for Sonia, and fixed weapons for several key characters.
