TL;DR Summary

The Switch 2's dock supports Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), but it doesn't work with the console itself. Instead, VRR can be enabled by plugging other handheld devices like the Steam Deck into the dock, allowing for 4K and 120fps gameplay. Nintendo has not yet enabled this feature for the Switch 2, possibly due to ongoing testing, but it is available for other devices when docked.
