In the latest patch for the genuinely excellent Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion, a large number of issues have finally been addressed.
It’s been a while since we had a patch for Titanic Scion, but the latest one that dropped the other day is certainly comprehensive.
Here are the patch notes:

Apart from all the online issues with the Switch 2 version, there are a lot of problems that have finally been dealt with.
This is also good because the new DLC pack, Into The Abyss, is also here (shown below), along with a lot of other new content.
The main good news, though, is that on the Switch 2, the game runs a lot better in general. Not that it was bad to begin with, as I praised the game in my review, but it just all feels a lot smoother now.
There are still some streaming hiccups when you boost into a new area, but they’re much less severe.
I’m also hoping that more optimization work will continue with the Switch 2 release, as the game has more DLC planned.
Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion is available on Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC, via Steam. You can also read my review of the game here.
