Overview
- Nintendo has officially clarified that the Switch 2 will not support variable refresh rate (VRR) in docked mode at launch, contrary to initial announcements.
- VRR functionality will be available exclusively in handheld mode, as confirmed in a statement to Nintendo Life.
- The confusion arose after Nintendo's regional websites initially listed docked-mode VRR support, only to later remove those references without explanation.
- Digital Foundry's final pre-launch technical breakdown corroborated that VRR is limited to handheld mode, aligning with Nintendo's statement.
- When asked about the possibility of future docked-mode VRR support via firmware updates, Nintendo stated it has no announcements at this time.
