Fast Fusion free content update

Shin’en made it official today that the studio is working on a free content update for its Nintendo Switch 2 launch game Fast Fusion. That news was shared on the game’s official social media account.

Unfortunately, fans will be forced to wait a bit for specifics as to what Shin’en is cooking up. That said, we’re hopeful that we’ll be seeing some new tracks. Work on the additional content is already underway. We’ll let you know when more details are available. 

Fast Fusion interview

History seems to be repeating itself as Shin’en is returning for the launch of a Nintendo console with a new racing game. Back in 2017, Fast RMX came to Nintendo Switch. The studio is now preparing for the imminent debut of Fast Fusion on Nintendo Switch 2.

To learn more about the game – including the new fusion mechanic – and the project’s development, we spoke with Shin’en CEO Manfred Linzner. You can read our full discussion below.

Fast Fusion GameShare

Speaking in an interview with Nintendo Everything, Shin’en CEO Manfred Linzner revealed that the team is using “completely new rendering tech” in its upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 launch game Fast Fusion.

Linzner was talking about the capabilities of the console when that tidbit was shared. “It’s amazing how much power you can get out of a device that also works as a handheld,” he said. And because of that power, we should be seeing a better looking title compared to the studio’s Switch 1 launch title Fast RMX. Linzner told us that compared to that game, Fast Fusion will have a world that’s “much more alive and beautiful.”

Fast Fusion 120 FPS mode

Fast Fusion may receive a 120 FPS performance mode after launch. That’s according to Manfred Linzner, who shared the news in an interview with Nintendo Everything.

Fast Fusion will run at 60 frames per second with a 4K resolution at launch. That alone is very much impressive. However, we could see an even higher level of performance in the future.

We have our first proper look at Fast Fusion with a brand new trailer that debuted today.
