Sep 13, 2026, 12:30 PM manhkbrady Hardware News

Docked variable refresh rate support for Switch 2 has finally arrived, but currently only a single game utilizes it, and broader support may take time.

When the Nintendo Switch 2 launched, one of the lingering questions surrounding its display capabilities was VRR support while docked. Nintendo had initially mentioned variable refresh rate for compatible displays, only to remove those references from its website and later clarify that VRR would be restricted to handheld mode. That limitation has finally changed. Around 16 months after launch, Switch 2 docked VRR is now available through system software update 23.0.0. Unfortunately, Nintendo's implementation comes with a significant limitation...

Rather than requiring players to install the full Ubisoft Connect application, Ubisoft Connect Services integrates the publisher's online features directly into the game. Steam users can still access...

Sep 9, 2026, 11:00 PM manhkbrady Hardware News
