The whole VRR thing with the Nintendo Switch 2—honestly, it’s like this weird unsolved mystery. So, get this: the dock can do VRR, but it doesn’t actually work with the Switch 2 itself. Yeah, it’s as confusing as it sounds. VRR, or Variable Refresh Rate if you wanna get technical, is supposed to stop that annoying screen tearing. You know, when the screen looks like it’s having a meltdown mid-game? Total buzzkill.
Anyway, people were super pumped when they heard the Switch 2 would have VRR. But then Nintendo was like, “Oops, never mind.” It was wild. Sean Hollister from The Verge messed around with it and found out if you plug, say, a Steam Deck into the Switch 2 dock, VRR magically works. Crazy, right? Kinda makes you scratch your head.
Nintendo’s keeping tight-lipped on why the Switch 2 can’t do VRR when docked, though. Maybe they released it like that to avoid glitches? I dunno. It’s kinda like they launched something not ready for showtime. Anyway, for now, Switch 2 folks have to go without VRR when docked, but there’s a glimmer of hope lurking somewhere that Nintendo might patch it up with an update. Fingers crossed, right? Meanwhile, if you have other handhelds like the Steam Deck, you can totally use the dock’s VRR. Not all bad news, I guess.
