Nintendo Switch 2 DLSS ray tracing

Nintendo has confirmed a couple of key technical points for Switch 2, as we now know officially that it will support DLSS upscaling tech as well as ray tracing.

Ahead of the Mario Kart World Direct on April 17, we’ve gathered up a list of every character confirmed for the game, both new and old.
