Switch 2 System Update 22.0.0 adds Handheld Boost Mode to play Switch 1 games at higher resolution
Nintendo has released system update 22.0.0 for the Nintendo Switch 2, introducing a 'Handheld Boost Mode' that allows backward compatibility with Nintendo Switch games at higher resolutions. This feature aims to improve the visual fidelity of older titles when played in handheld mode, potentially upscaling them to 1080p, though it may impact performance stability and controller functionality. The update also includes enhancements to GameChat, friend notes, and accessibility features.
