It's here - the biggest and most comprehensive Digital Foundry hardware test we've ever done. Across two hours of #content, Oliver Mackenzie, John Linneman and Rich Leadbetter share their data, tests, opinions and impressions of the entire Switch 2 package ranging from hardware analysis, display options, power consumption and efficiency, loading time and WiFi tests, back-compat, Game Share, Game Chat and much, much more. We love most of what we see - but key technologies like VRR and HDR disappoint in a blurry handheld experience that must be improved.
