Cronos: The New Dawn has been significantly improved on Nintendo Switch 2 by a new patch that went live this week.
According to a new report shared on X by SuperMetalDave64, the 1.4 update introduces significant visual improvements, including improved texture quality, LOD draw distance, and lighting and fog with less light bleed. Even at a glance, these visual improvements are easily spottable and bring the Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game closer to the other console versions of the survival horror game developed by Bloober Team.
SuperMetalDave64 also shared a quick comparison between the 1.3 version, the new 1.4 version and the max settings PC version of Cronos: The New Dawn. This side-by-side comparison clearly highlights the improvements which make the Switch 2 version a more palatable choice than at launch.
Cronos: The New Dawn leverages a lot on its visuals to create the haunting experience that defines the game, so the improvements introduced in the Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game effectively improve the whole game on the system. You can learn more about how the game's atmosphere makes for one of Bloober Team's best games by checking out my review.
Cronos: The New Dawn is now available worldwide on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Nintendo Switch 2.
