Overview

• Developers must secure individual approval for Switch 2 dev kits by demonstrating how their games exploit the system’s distinctive hardware features rather than simply porting existing titles.
• LynxByte Games’ recent feature list, shared on BlueSky, is the first to specify that the Switch 2 uses NVIDIA’s DLSS 3.1 upscaling technology, though Nintendo and NVIDIA have not verified the claim.
• Analysis of the console’s custom Tegra T239 SoC, built on an Ampere-Ada Lovelace hybrid GPU, suggests it is capable of supporting DLSS 3.1, lending plausibility to the reported upscaler version.
• The posted feature set also includes ray tracing, 4K HDR TV output, 120Hz handheld support, enhanced controller functions, GameChat and modern connectivity options like Wi-Fi 6 and HDMI 2.1.
• Reports of 6 million units sold—unconfirmed by Nintendo—indicate strong developer interest even as first-party software remains slow to integrate advanced upscaling features.
