TL;DR
  • Switch emulator Citron just released version 0.7, its first update in more than six months.
  • It’s a “complete ground-up rewrite” of the emulator, with significant changes and improvements.
  • Highlights include an overhaul of the Vulkan rendering pipeline and early FSR2 support.

Nintendo Switch emulation had a rough one in 2024, but this year is shaping up to offer some huge leaps forward. Last week we saw a big update for Eden, but now it’s Citron’s time to shine, with version 0.7 launching earlier today.

This is a major update for the Yuzu fork, with lead developer Zephyron claiming it’s a “complete ground-up rewrite.” The most significant change here is an overhauled Vulkan rendering pipeline, as well as a complete rewrite of several other core emulation components.
