Mouse: P.I. For Hire Gets Major Performance Boost on Switch 2

The current patch for the Switch 2 addresses a variety of issues, including crashes, blockers, menu sound distortion, and side‑quest glitches. Official patch notes from the Mouse: P.I. For Hire website highlight a fix for a crash that occurred when players switched their language to Traditional Chinese at launch or within the settings menu.

We have resolved a critical graphical glitch in The Reel Deal that was causing a black screen whenever lens distortion was turned off, which had previously halted player progress.

In the Mouseburg Opera mini-boss arena, we corrected a collision issue that was trapping players against environmental elements, ensuring smoother combat encounters.

We also addressed a logic error in the Far Wetlands level where the “No Entry Yet” door could remain closed even after all enemies were defeated, preventing unintended access delays.

Finally, enemy pathfinding in the Quagmire level has been refined to prevent foes from getting stuck on doors and level geometry, eliminating potential progression blockers.

In a recent patch, the developers overhauled the final boss’s choreography in the “The Reel Deal” showdown, smoothing out its attack sequences and adding new, unpredictable maneuvers that promise to keep players on their toes.

Another fix tackled a glitch where enemies armed with shotguns would sometimes miss dealing damage, restoring the intended challenge and balance to combat encounters.

The patch also removed a blocker in “Curdsville” that had been preventing a segment of players from advancing, ensuring a smoother progression through the level.

Additionally, the update resolved a looping issue that occurred when users attempted to accept controller rebindings, improving overall user interface reliability.

We’ve introduced a new privacy feature that lets players opt out of data and analytics tracking directly from the Settings Menu, not just during the initial onboarding process.

The game‑over soundtrack will no longer play when the “Toggle Licensed Music” setting is turned off, ensuring a consistent audio experience.

In the “Clergy Row” level, players will now successfully collect the crucial clue after freeing the jailed Cop, restoring a key gameplay element that had been broken.
