Nintendo’s latest Switch 2 update adds VRR support in TV mode
The Verge • • technology
Key Points:
- Nintendo has released a 23.0.0 firmware update for the Switch 2, adding variable refresh rate (VRR) support when the console is docked and in TV mode, a feature initially promised but missing at launch.
- VRR enhances gameplay by synchronizing the display’s refresh rate with the game's frame rate, reducing screen tearing and improving performance, especially for titles with unstable frame rates.
- The update also introduces a handheld boost mode toggle in quick settings and enhances the Mii editor by allowing users to add music from classic Wii, 3DS, or Wii U Mii creations.
- Additionally, Nintendo has enabled full system transfers between Switch 2 consoles, facilitating easier data migration ahead of the upcoming Zelda-themed Switch 2 release next month.
