Earlier this year, Mojang released ‘Vibrant Visuals,’ a major graphical update for Minecraft. The update enhances the game’s visuals but does not affect gameplay mechanics and can be toggled on or off.
While the update was launched alongside the new ‘Chase the Skies’ content, Nintendo Switch users noticed that the enhanced graphics do not appear in the Switch version. This omission has disappointed many players, sparking calls for a “Switch 2 Edition” or an updated version that supports the improved visuals.
Fans have expressed their frustrations on social media:
- NinjAsierX: “We need a Switch 2 version free for those who already had it in the original Switch.”
- Silverfish003: “Make a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, Mojang! Mouse controls would be AMAZING!”
- Zachhigherfructose8552: “Switch 2 version with Vibrant Visuals when?”
- Browseph: “IM CRYING NOW!!! NO VIBRANT VISUALS ON SWITCH 2”
- Z-Man7: “Definitely needs a performance update for Switch 2.”
Mojang previously stated the intention to bring the Vibrant Visuals update to as many devices as possible in the future, raising hope that a Switch 2 version or update may be in development or consideration.
Meanwhile, the current Switch update includes the new “Chase the Skies” content:
- A flying mount called the ghastling that players can raise and soar with.
- The ability to build and explore high into the sky.
- Leashing a caravan of camels.
- New music discs and a Player Locator bar to find wandering friends.
