Nintendo releases a new firmware update for the Switch 2 that enables variable refresh rate (VRR) when the console is docked and used in TV mode. The update includes VRR support while connected through the dock, allowing the display to vary its refresh rate in response to the game’s frame rate.

Both outlets describe the change as a feature that Nintendo previously indicated would be available for the Switch 2 in docked use, but that was not present at launch. Eurogamer reports the update adds VRR support specifically for docked operation, while The Verge notes the Switch 2 initially launched without VRR despite expectations. The Verge frames this as fulfilling an earlier promise and highlights the firmware version (23.0.0).
