Alongside the patch notes, the company also issued a rare-feeling apology of sorts for the game’s lacklustre technical performance since launch, saying “We are aware that players may encounter issues that affect the games’ performance. Our goal is always to give players a positive experience with our games, and we apologize for the inconvenience. We take the feedback from players seriously and are working on improvements to the games.”

We gave Pokémon Scarlet/Violet a 7.5/10 in our review, saying “New ideas, some quality of life improvements, and some excellent new Pokémon designs make the trip to Paldea worthwhile.”

You can pick the games up for yourself from Amazon for $68 with free shipping.
