Nintendo's latest update for the Switch 2 will upgrade the performance of original Switch games played in handheld mode, as reported earlier by IGN. When you turn on the new Handheld Boost Mode, the Switch 2 will force original Switch games to run as if the console is connected to a TV, allowing for better visuals.

The update should give original Switch titles a much-needed visual boost, as they were previously limited to running in 720p in handheld mode - the resolution supported by the Switch 1's screen. By making Switch 1 titles run in TV mode, games should be able to take advantage of the Switch 2's 1080p display.
