The details for the Pokemon Scarlet & Violet day one patch have been leaked, and the patch notes revealed it isn’t a performance update, but rather a balance patch changing a plethora of Pokemon’s stats and movesets.

A recent blog post on the official Pokemon Scarlet & Violet website announced the day one 1.0.1 patch. While the post doesn’t go into much detail regarding what the update entails, it did state that it would allow players to use the game’s online features.

However, as more information began to leak close to Pokemon Scarlet & Violet’s official launch, more trainers began to theorize that the patch would be a performance update. Reports of buggy visuals, missing audio, and low frame rates had trainers worried, but their fears were claimed by a supposed performance update.

Alas, the patch notes for the day one Pokemon Scarlet & Violet update leaked early to reveal a balance patch awaits players at launch.
