One of the hot new 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Switch 2 features touted in the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Switch 2 Direct was Variable Refresh Rate (VRR). However, Nintendo didn't make it entirely clear if VRR would be available on both handheld and TV mode, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the developer removed the mention of it working on TVs from its websites last month.

In a , a Nintendo representative said, "Nintendo Switch 2 supports VRR in handheld mode on🐻ly. The incorrect information was initially published on the Nintendo Switch 2 website, and we apologise for the error."

The website followed up with Nintendo to ask if the mode could be coming for docked play down the line, but it was met with a "We have nothing to announce o𝐆n this topic." That isn't a denial, so that hopefully means VRR will come eventually.

Notably, the PS5 also has VRR, but like the Nintendo Switch 2's TV mode, it wasn't available at launch, instead arriving 18 months after the system launched. It could be a similar situation for the Switch 2, although it would𒈔 be great if it do🍬esn't take as long.

For those unaware, VRR is a feat🦩ure that ensures the game's framerate and the refre♛sh rate of your screen stay in sync, which makes things look far smoother and gets rid of the likes of screen tearing.

While this probably won't be a big issue for the vast majority of Switch 2 users (analysts reckon there are going to be 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:100 million of those by 2029), it's nice to see ♕Ninten♔do actually caring about these technical details.

As Switch 2 fans worry about price increases, Nintendo of America president isn't too reassuring as he admits tariffs make for "a very fluid situation"
