Nintendo’s latest Switch 2 update adds VRR support in TV mode
Nintendo has released a firmware update for the Switch 2 that enables Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support while the console is docked. This feature aims to improve visual smoothness for games with unstable frame rates, bringing the console closer to the performance standards of the PS5 and Xbox.
