Development for the upgraded Switch model is due to begin this June, with the console having an OLED screen, 4K support, and various more. As well as these changes, there has been multiple reports that claim the Switch will support Nvidia’s DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling). A report published by Bloomberg reemphasises this. The report claims that anonymous sources with knowledge of the development have announced that the upcoming Switch Pro will include support for Nvidia’s technology in hopes that the 4K resolution visuals will improve with this update. DLSS support is unlikely to be added to existing titles, although will feature on new and upcoming games. The console system will also include a new Nvidia chipset, which will allow for an improved CPU and better memory. An upgrade with this much improvement though, would definitely lead to a more costly console. Bloomberg Intelligence’s analyst Matthew Kanterman, predicted that the console will cost between $349 and $399,although Nintendo are yet to comment on these details. Other recent reports have suggested that the Switch Pro might receive some exclusive games in the future.  Nintendo are also expecting record sales for hardware and software in regards to the updated Switch being released this year.

The VR controllers include the same trigger technology found within the DualSense PS5 controller. Each controller has tensions in the triggers, which Sony aims to use in future VR games. The controllers also include haptic feedback, and finger touch detection that will allow fingers to be detected without having to press areas where your thumb, index or middle fingers rest. ‘This enables you to make more natural gestures with your hands during gameplay,’ says Head of Platform planning and management at PlayStation,  Hideaki Nishino.
