Nintendo has quietly removed any mention of variable refresh rate (VRR) support from some of its regionalSwitch 2websites, suggesting the console may not offer the feature after all.
That’s according to Digital Foundry’s Oliver Mackenzie (viaVGC), who spotted that the US website has been updated since theNintendo Switch 2 Direct, and no longer mentions VRR support for docked play.
Now it reads: “Take in all the detail with screen resolutions up to4Kwhen you connect the Nintendo Switch 2 system to a compatible TV using the dedicated dock. The system also supportsHDRand frame rates up to 120 fps on compatible TVs.”
It’s not just the US website that has been updated, but theCanadaandJapansites too.

As of writing, theUKsite still mentions that the Switch 2 “supports HDR, VRR, and frame rates up to 120 fps on compatible TVs,” but Nintendo may be in the process of removing it from all its regional sites.
It’s unclear why Nintendo has made changes, but Mackenzie theorises that VRR support may not be available at launch. However, the Switch 2 in handheld looks like it will still offer VRR thanks toNvidia G-Sync, which will ensure “ultra-smooth, tear-free gameplay.”
Everything we needed to know about theSwitch 2’s specswas revealed during the Direct earlier this month, where it was also confirmed that the console will have a bigger screen, from 6.2 inches to 7.9 inches, 256GB of internal storage, and a mouse function for its magnetic Joy-Con controllers.
