Overview
- The Switch 2 port of Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader drew sharp criticism for technical Failings such as constantly stuttering frame rates, long loading times, unresponsive and laggy menus, graphical downgrades, and hard crashes.
- Owlcat announced a 'massive' update that the studio says removes major bugs, improves visual presentation, and optimizes performance to make the game more stable on Switch 2.
- As an apology for the poor launch, Owlcat is making all additional content free for Switch 2 owners, including the Digital Deluxe content and existing DLC expansions.
- The first two expansions, Void Shadows and Lex Imperialis, are already available and the developer says two further expansions will follow as part of the ongoing content roadmap.
- The developer frames the fixes and free content as an effort to restore player trust, but community and review re-evaluations will determine whether the patch meaningfully reverses the game's early reputation.
