Other news about the successor to the Nintendo Switch did not take long to arrive. After the VGC and Eurogamer report, a leaker came up with new information Nate the Hate on your podcast.
In it, he claims, for example, that the enhanced version of Zelda: Breath of the Wild should run in 4K and 60 FPS on the new device, using DLSS upscaling technology. Specifically, it was supposed to be DLSS 3.5 (apparently an upscaling version), Ray Reconstruction support is also logical, but it doesn’t look like much for image generation, if it is still true that the device is supposed to use a T239 chip using the Ampere graphics architecture (RTX 30). Zelda allegedly also had significantly shorter loading times, the transition from the menu to the game should have been completely smooth. We don’t yet know exactly what kind of storage will be used in the console.
The Matrix Awakens demo, built on Unreal Engine 5, reportedly looked as good as the current consoles from Sony and Microsoft, with the ray tracing possibly being better. This would make sense, as Nvidia’s chip should have separate RT cores, unlike the AMD APUs that power current PlayStations and Xboxes. However, we must take into account that at least The Matrix Awakens, according to Nate, ran on a dev kit with similar specifications to the final version, not directly on the console itself. Finally, he adds that he still has no new information about backward compatibility.
According to VGC, the console should arrive in the second half of next year, with Eurogamer suggesting it could potentially be sooner. Nate the Hate claims to have heard something about March 2024, but doesn’t know if that’s the announcement date or the actual release date.
