This follow-up to one of the best-selling, most beloved consoles of all time is being shown off in a series of big ‘experience’ events in 15 cities around the world, so that the gaming public can try it out before its release on – we now know – June 5. I spent 15 minutes of my time with the Switch 2 testing it out on Cyberpunk 2077 – one of the most graphically demanding games there is – and, while it was only running at 30FPS (well below the connoisseur’s minimum of 60FPS), this was hardly a failed experiment. If you’re not up on the lingo, that stands for ‘high dynamic range’ and effectively means that the Switch 2, in both handheld and docked modes, can show brighter brights and darker darks than before.
