Thanks to its versatility and portability, it has become one of the most popular gaming devices.
If you remember your console history, the original PlayStation 4 did not support 4K.
It wasnt until the PS4 Pro arrived in 2016 that we saw support for higher resolutions.
We dont know enough about Switch 2s chip to know how well it performs at higher resolutions.
However, apatentfiled by Nintendo last year proposes a solution in the form of AI upscaling.
The paper describes a system for converting images with AI to upscale them to a higher resolution.
AI upscaling is making its way to consoles.
ThePS5 Prooffers itsown blend of upscaling, dubbed PlayStation spectral super-resolution, or PSSR.
Game journalistLaura Kate noted thison Bluesky.
The patent references allowing them to fit games on smaller capacity physical media.
Kate noted that the patent notes upscaling from 520p to 1080p and 1080p to 4K.
For many Switch owners, cartridge compatibility is a must-have if you want to call it backwards compatible.
