Overview

• Nintendo released a trailer on June 2 via the Nintendo Today app showcasing Scarlet and Violet running on Switch 2 at 60 FPS.
• Players will receive the 60 FPS performance upgrade as a free day-one update when Switch 2 launches on June 5.
• The original Switch version often ran below 30 FPS, but the Switch 2 hardware delivers significantly smoother frame rates.
• Scenes at Paldea’s Casseroya Lake demonstrate the console handling dense Pokémon spawns with minimal frame-rate drops.
• Existing Scarlet and Violet owners gain a major incentive to revisit the game on Switch 2 with these performance enhancements.
