Yesterday’s Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation unveiled a wealth of fresh information regarding Nintendo’s upcoming console, encompassing technical specifications, games, and additional features. Among the newly disclosed details was an intriguing glimpse into the console’s innovative GameChat feature, as well as post-broadcast revelations about Game-Key Cards. However, it seems there will be no support for DLSS or ray-tracing technology in the new console.
It has been revealed that the Nintendo Switch 2 incorporates both DLSS technology for image enhancement and ray-tracing. Nevertheless, Nintendo remains secretive about the specifics, as the technical specifications continue to describe it as a console powered by an unspecified Nvidia custom processor, suggesting that Nintendo is keeping quiet about how these technologies will be utilized in the new portable system.
Nintendo Switch 2 DLSS and ray-tracing confirmed
During a press conference in New York, Nintendo officially announced that the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 portable console will incorporate both Nvidia’s DLSS upscaling technology and hardware-accelerated ray-tracing capabilities. Although no games demonstrated at the latest Direct event seemed to employ these technologies, they can potentially be utilized in future titles.
According to Nintendo’s Takuhiro Dohta (via IGN), we employ Deep Learning Super-Sampling (DLSS) technology during game development, which is crucial for us. Regarding the hardware, it can output video up to 4K resolution. However, whether a software developer decides to use this as the native resolution or opt for upscaling is their choice. I believe this provides software developers with various possibilities.
Additionally, Dohta also verified that the GPU in Nintendo Switch 2’s System-on-Chip (SoC) is capable of ray-tracing, offering developers another tool to employ. Regarding the details about the GPU, which will be uncovered by modders and enthusiasts eventually, Dohta remained tight-lipped, stating that Nintendo isn’t very forthcoming with hardware specifications. In other words, they aren’t revealing much about the hardware.
As a dedicated fan, I’m thrilled to share that Dohta hinted at Nvidia revealing some details about the custom tech powering the Nintendo Switch 2 handheld. Soon enough, we’ll uncover the impressive capabilities of this upcoming console. Given that blockbuster games like Cyberpunk 2077 and the authentic Hogwarts Legacy can operate on it, the next generation promises to be nothing short of captivating!
