Nintendo Switch 2 Launch Game Confirms Important Day 1 Update

by

Summary

  • Fast Fusion will get a day-one update adding a 4K/60fps Quality mode to the game.
  • The Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive won’t have a 120fps preset at launch, instead possibly targeting a lower figure or having an unlocked frame rate in Performance mode.
  • A 120fps mode may be added post-release, the Fast Fusion developer said, in addition to promising at least one free content update for the upcoming Switch 2 launch title.

The upcoming exclusive title for the Nintendo Switch 2, “Fast Fusion,” will receive a day-one update featuring a Quality mode. This upgrade allows players to enjoy 4K graphics. Additionally, it’s anticipated that at least one more graphical mode may be introduced in “Fast Fusion” after its release, along with other exciting features.

During the Nintendo Direct presentation held in early April 2025, it was revealed that “Fast Fusion” is the newest addition to the “Fast” series of high-speed arcade racers, similar to games like “F-Zero” and “Wipeout”. Similar to the first three installments developed by Shin’en Multimedia, this upcoming game will be exclusive to a Nintendo console, with the Switch 2 being the chosen platform for its release.

As a dedicated gamer, I’m excitedly awaiting the launch of Fast Fusion on June 5, alongside the Switch 2. On day one, you’ll find an update ready and waiting, which will introduce a stunning Quality graphics preset designed for 4K resolution at a smooth 60 frames per second. Keep in mind that this 4K target is for docked mode, as the console boasts a native 1080p display.

Fast Fusion Won’t Have a 120fps Mode at Launch

Although the Quality mode boasting a 4K/60fps resolution suggests its Performance counterpart would offer a 1440p/120fps, this isn’t accurate. Shin’en Multimedia has stated that a 120fps mode won’t be available at launch. They haven’t specified the frame rate target for the Performance mode included in the day-one patch yet, but since a 120fps and 60fps have already been mentioned, it seems probable that the initial Performance mode might be an unlimited frame rate with a 1440p output. A midway option like 90fps appears improbable because most TVs don’t support 90Hz refresh rates, making such a frame rate lock more susceptible to problems like screen tearing due to discrepancies between the output and display refresh cycles.

Fast Fusion initially offers 12 tracks and plans to offer a free content update later on. Shin’en Multimedia has not specified the details of the game’s post-release content yet. If they choose to include a 120fps mode, it might operate at a resolution of 1080p, possibly even in docked mode. Similar to many upcoming Switch 2 games, Fast Fusion is anticipated to employ upscaling across its graphics modes for the majority, if not all, visual settings.

Besides offering quick-tempo action and a wealth of content, the upcoming sci-fi racer, Fast Fusion, plans to catch eyes with its competitive pricing. Priced at just $14.99, Fast Fusion is set to be one of the most budget-friendly games among titles launching for the Switch 2.
