Switch 2 firmware 23.0.0 adds VRR support in TV mode and system transfers between consoles
↗
Nintendo's 23.0.0 firmware update for the Switch 2 adds variable refresh rate support in docked TV mode, along with a handheld boost mode toggle, Mii editor updates, and full system transfer between consoles.
VRR was promised at launch but missing, and its absence put the Switch 2 behind PS5 and Xbox Series S/X on a feature that reduces screen tearing and smooths unstable frame rates. The system transfer feature arrives ahead of a Zelda-themed Switch 2 next month, letting owners migrate between consoles.
