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

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 framerate, and it’s a feature that the PS5 and Xbox Series S / X all support.

The latest firmware also enables Switch 2 system transfers just in time for the Zelda-themed Switch 2. The latest firmware also enables Switch 2 system transfers just in time for the Zelda-themed Switch 2.

The latest Switch 2 firmware also includes a new toggle for handheld boost mode in quick settings, as well as an update to the Mii editor that lets you enable music for some nostalgic Mii creation on the following platforms:

• Wii
• 3DS
• Wii U

Full System Transfers

Nintendo has also added the ability to perform a full system transfer from one Switch 2 console to another, just in time for a Zelda-themed Switch 2 next month.
