Nintendo Says the Switch 2 Will Only Support VRR In Handheld Mode

  • In April 2025, Nintendo clarified that the Nintendo Switch 2 features variable refresh rate functionality exclusively when used in handheld mode, with no VRR support available while docked.
  • This announcement followed the removal of incorrect VRR support claims for both modes from Nintendo’s official product page and an issued apology.
  • The Switch 2 supports 4K resolution, HDR, and frame rates up to 120fps on compatible TVs, but VRR is limited to handheld play at launch.
  • Nintendo indicated that there are currently no plans to introduce VRR support for docked mode but did not rule out the possibility if it becomes technically viable in the future.
  • The current situation suggests VRR may be added later via firmware updates, similar to how Sony enabled VRR on the PS5 after launch, but no commitment exists.
