Nintendo Switch 2 gets a surprise boost mode that fans call a 'game changer'
Nintendo has quietly released a "boost mode" for the Nintendo Switch 2 that allows backward-compatible Switch 1 games to run with performance similar to TV mode when in handheld mode. While this feature may drain the battery faster and disables touchscreen functionality, fans are praising the visual improvements seen in games like Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Persona 5 Royal. The boost mode is accessible via the console's system settings after a software update.
