Nintendo Switch 2 supports Nvidia’s DLSS upscaling technology, the company has finally confirmed.
The next-gen Nintendo console has been long expected to support the popular feature, which uses AI to upscale games to a higher resolution without a significant performance penalty, and Nvidia confirmed the support on Thursday, even though it wasn’t mentioned in this week’s big Switch 2 Direct.
Switch 2 is powered by a custom NVIDIA processor and an NVIDIA GPU with dedicated RT Cores and Tensor Cores.
“The new RT Cores bring real-time ray tracing, delivering lifelike lighting, reflections and shadows for more immersive worlds,” Nvidia said.
“Tensor Cores power AI-driven features like Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS), boosting resolution for sharper details without sacrificing image quality.
“Tensor Cores also enable AI-powered face tracking and background removal in video chat use cases, enhancing social gaming and streaming.”
Switch 2 will be released worldwide on Thursday, June 5.
