It is highly likely that it is planned for the Nintendo Switch 2 – something that has been rumoured for a while.
The launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 is nearing ever closer, and although there is still no confirmation on an actual release date, we’re gradually getting a better idea of what to expect.
As well as case manufacturer Dbrand flying against tradition with a glimpse of itsown rendering of the console itself, an official Nintendo patent has popped up which seemingly confirms one of the machine’s key features.
We have long heard that theNintendo Switch 2could include super sampling technology, much like Nvidia’s DLSS or PSSR on thePS5 Pro.
As with similar tech from rivals, this would allow developers to run games at higher resolutions – 1080p in portable mode, possibly 4K when docked – without negatively impacting frame rates. Some developers might even choose to adopt it in older Switch games in time for the console’s release (as we’ve seen on some PS5 Pro Enhanced titles).
Thepatent was actually filed in 2023but has only recently surfaced. It seems well timed considering we expect Nintendo to make a public announcement on the “Switch successor” before the end of the financial year in March.
