As early as April 2025, Nintendo's official website was updated, deleting the previous statement that Switch 2 supports VRR in host mode.The website has previously stated that the system will support HDR, VRR, and frame rates up to 120 fps (on compatible monitors).But now some bloggers have tested that the Switch 2 dock mode still supports VRR.

Real-time tests conducted by YouTube blogger Spawn Wave using Steam Deck show that the hardware of the Switch 2 dock does support VRR functionality.However, without Nintendo's software-level support, the feature is still only theoretically potential in host mode for new hosts.

To test the performance of the dock, Spawn Wave uses a USB-C female-male extension cable to connect the Steam Deck to the Switch 2 dock, effectively bypassing the physical incompatibility problem between the two devices.Power is provided through the official Nintendo adapter and the base is connected to a monitor that supports 144Hz 4K VRR using a high-speed HDMI cable.

When the Steam Deck's signal is transmitted through the Switch 2 dock, the display successfully detects and enables VRR.During this process, HDR is also enabled, further highlighting the hardware capabilities of the dock.Spawn Wave tested multiple display configurations and finally selected a resolution of 1440p 120Hz, which he believes may match Nintendo's future goal of achieving 4K super resolution.He verified the frame rate in real time and observed the display behavior using SteamOS's built-in performance monitoring interface, further confirming that the VRR and HDR functions successfully operated through the HDMI output of the dock.

The content creator noted that while the Nintendo Switch 2 supports VRR in handheld mode, the feature is not supported in host mode, especially considering the evidence that the hardware can handle it when connecting to Steam Deck.Once Nintendo completes support at its system software level, its new host will likely support the feature in host mode as well.
