Nintendo removes mentions of VRR display from Switch 2 website

As the Nintendo Switch 2 uses an Nvidia GPU, we were all expecting the console to support features like DLSS and even G-Sync for Variable Refresh Rate. At first, Nintendo did state that the Switch 2's display was VRR capable, but mentions of the feature have since been scrubbed from the website. 

Variable Refresh Rate comes in handy on consoles when running games at up to 120FPS. Getting a locked 120FPS is a challenge even on PC, so utilising VRR removes issues like screen tearing, keeping the image stable and fluid. With titles like Metroid Prime 4 set to feature 120Hz modes, fans were pleased to see that VRR was supported. Unfortunately, the situation has now taken a turn.

Oliver Mackenzie on X noticed that mentions of VRR have been removed from the Nintendo Switch 2 pages in several regions, including the US, Canada and Japan.

Nintendo has not yet commented publicly on this. Interestingly, the change coincides with another site update, revealing more details on Mario Kart World, which is set to be the Switch 2's major launch title in June.

KitGuru Says: It would be a big shame if the 120Hz Switch 2 display did not support VRR. There is no reason it shouldn't, as the Nvidia chip at the centre of the console almost certainly does and nowadays, most displays on the market are VRR capable.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
