Sumo Digital was tasked by Bethesda to port the critically acclaimed Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition to the new Nintendo Switch 2 platform.

The solution implemented by Sumo Digital involved adapting proprietary engine libraries, modernizing the graphics pipeline, and optimizing shaders for improved performance. They uniquely implemented DLSS support and developed player-facing controls to select between multiple framerate targets. As a result, Sumo Digital successfully delivered a high-quality port that Bethesda praised, demonstrating their ability to bring successful IP to new platforms and meet high standards.
