Nintendo Adds VRR Support to Docked Nintendo Switch 2 in Latest Console Update, Offering Improved Refresh Rates for Certain Games
Version 23.0.0 lets compatible games use variable refresh rate in docked mode and adds full data transfer between Switch 2 consoles.
- Nintendo released the version 23.0.0 update for the Nintendo Switch today, officially enabling Variable Refresh Rate support for docked play after users enable it in Display settings.
- Previously, Nintendo confirmed Variable Refresh Rate would only work in handheld mode after briefly removing official information about the feature before this expansion.
- When consoles and displays are out of sync, noticeable glitches like screen tearing or stuttering occur; Variable Refresh Rate matches the game's refresh rate to reduce these artifacts.
- The update introduces "Complete Data Transfer" between two Switch consoles and adds background music to the Mii editing screen, controllable with a single button press.
- These improvements follow two Nintendo Direct streams earlier this week featuring reveals for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, Metroid Ravenous, and Monster Hunter Wilds.
