Nintendo’s latest Switch 2 update adds VRR support in TV mode

Nintendo always promised that the Switch 2 would support variable refresh rate (VRR) when docked, but the console launched without this key feature. A new 23. 0. 0 firmware update now adds VRR support to the Switch 2 when it's docked and in TV mode.

VRR adjusts a display's refresh rate to match a game's frame rate, smoothing out gameplay and reducing screen tearing. It will be particularly useful for games on the Switch 2 that have an unstable frame rate, and it's a feature that the PS5 and Xbox Series S / X all support.
