Super Mario Odyssey is one of the few Nintendo Switch-exclusive games that are great to play in 4K 60 FPS. Unfortunately, the game is locked at 30 FPS and 900p resolution even when the console’s docked. The resolution even drops to 720p when the console is undocked. However, there is a way to play Super Mario Odyssey on PC in 4K 60 FPS via the Yuzu and Ryujinx emulator.
Gamers can technically run the game on any Nintendo Switch emulator of their choice. However, we have found the Yuzu emulator to have the best performance and most straightforward installation process for Super Mario Odyssey.
Yuzu emulator also has an official mods page that users can download to alter their gameplay experience. However, these mods come preinstalled with the emulator so users would need a third-party website for more mods.

Things Needed
Make sure the following files and software are installed on your PC to play Super Mario Odyssey via the Yuzu or Ryujinx emulator.
- High to mid-spec gaming PC
- Yuzu or Ryujinx emulator
- Latest Nintendo Switch prod keys
- Latest Nintendo Switch firmware file (for Ryujinx)
- Super Mario Odyssey in XCI or NSP file format
- Controller (Optional)
These files can be legally ported to a PC through a modded Nintendo Switch. Using an XCI or NSP file for Super Mario Odyssey to run the game on the Ryujinx or Yuzu emulator is relatively easy. Although these XCI, NSP, prod keys, and firmware files can be downloaded from specific sites, we do not recommend them as these sites may come under piracy.
