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

  • In early April 2025, Nintendo clarified that the Switch 2 is equipped with VRR functionality exclusively when used in handheld mode, with this feature not available while the console is connected to a TV dock.
  • Initially, Nintendo’s official Switch 2 website mistakenly indicated that VRR was available in both handheld and docked modes, but the company later corrected this, clarifying that VRR is only supported in handheld mode and expressing regret for the earlier misinformation.
  • The Switch 2 additionally supports 4K resolution, HDR, and frame rates up to 120fps when docked, but VRR on TV mode is currently unavailable with no announced plans to add it.
  • Nintendo clarified that there are currently no updates or plans to add VRR support for docked play, despite inquiries from fans on the matter.
  • This limitation may disappoint some users, but comparisons to the PS5 suggest VRR could be added later, though this remains uncertain as of May 2025.
