The 64-Bit tonic update aims to make Yooka-Laylee look like how Banjo Kazooie originally did on the N64!

## [](#64bit-is-where-it-is-at)64bit is where it is at!

It’s finally here, underperforming for you!

Strap on those nostalgia goggles and boot up Yooka-Laylee – it’s time for an adventure of 64-bit proportions. They have pounded the dough and rolled out the 64-bit Tonic update (it’s free, sorry Trowzer) to Nintendo Switch and PC versions of Yooka-Laylee.

They haven’t forgotten about PlayStation and Xbox players – you’ll be getting your hands on the Tonic at a later date once we have squished a few final bugs on those platforms as well.

So, what are you waiting for? Get rollin’ and pay Vendi a visit, for a brand-old taste of Yooka-Laylee.

**Additional stuff:**

- Physical copies of Yooka-Laylee on Nintendo Switch will now properly log play time.
- PC players may experience a framerate bug when adjusting graphical settings with the 64-Bit Tonic active. To resolve this, simply deactivate and reactivate the Tonic. The 64-Bit Tonic locks the framerate to 20.
