Since the arrival of the Switch 2 last year, many third-party developers have been updating their existing Switch games for Nintendo’s new hybrid system.<\/p>\n

With this in mind, Psyonix’s latest update for its vehicular soccer game Rocket League<\/a> has today added Switch 2 visual and performance improvements. This includes simplified graphics settings, improved resolution and visual quality upgrades.<\/p>\n

Here’s the segment from v2.64 patch notes detailing the Switch 2 rendering enhancements:<\/p>\n

          • Higher-resolution shadows<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            You can see the other content in this latest update on Rocket League’s official website. Rocket League is free-to-play, and this is a free update, so you’ll just need to have access to a Switch 2 to see these enhancements in action.<\/p>\n

            Rocket League originally arrived on the Switch eShop in 2017. You can find out more about it in our Nintendo Life review.<\/p>\n
