Nintendo has finally unveiled the Switch 2, and it comes with several key upgrades that bring it up to 2025 standards without losing its portable essence.
What's new?
- Larger display (7.9") and 1080p resolution, with support for 4K in the dock.
- 120 FPS and 256 GB of internal storage. Yes, finally decent space.
- Wi-Fi 6 and two USB-C ports, something many users had been asking for.
- Magnetic Joy-Con, more durable and with new features like mouse-style use.
- New C button for sharing and chatting with GameChat.
The Switch 2 doesn't just improve the numbers; it also adds technology that has a real impact on gameplay:
- DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling): renders at lower resolutions and upscales to 4K with the help of AI, without sacrificing performance.
- Ray Tracing: more realistic lighting and reflections thanks to dedicated cores.
- Tensor Cores: handle artificial intelligence tasks directly from the chip.
- G-SYNC and VRR compatibility: if you use a compatible display, you'll get smooth visuals with no tearing or stutter.
Nintendo also refreshed several accessories
- Updated Pro Controller, with better grip and longer battery life.
- Magnetic charging dock for the Pro Controller (not confirmed, but very likely).
- Joy-Con 2, now magnetic: more comfortable and with new haptic vibration. They also work as a mouse-style pointer.
- Dual Joy-Con charger, ideal if you have more than one pair.
- Official case, more durable, with space for cartridges and Joy-Con.
- Adjustable rear stand, sturdier for playing in tabletop mode.
