Nintendo patent confirms Switch 2 has image scaling technology similar to Nvidia's DLSS
Long before the Nintendo Switch 2 was unveiled, insiders were reporting that the new consoles would get support for some sort of upscaling technology similar to Nvidia's DLSS, and now there's documented confirmation of that information.
Here's What We Know
Nintendo has updated one of its patents, which describes the AI image scaling technology on the Nintendo Switch 2.
Omitting technical details, we'll note that Nintendo claims the ability to scale from 520p to 1080p and it looks like this option will not only be available in new games, but also in older ones. And since Switch 2 will get full compatibility with all games from the past console, upscaling will additionally save developers from having to release full-fledged remasters for the new generation.
It is reported that Nintendo Switch 2 will be equipped with a graphics processing unit (GPU) from Nvidia, so there is a possibility that the upscale will not just be similar to DLSS, but exactly what it will be.
