Quick scoop
Good news for folks who like superheroes and smooth frame rates: Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is coming to the Nintendo Switch 2. Developer Eidos-Montréal has prepped the port, and the version hitting the console this week includes a couple of handy display options and a neat visual trick for TV play.
Modes you can pick
When you fire it up on the Switch 2 you’ll be asked to choose between two modes: Quality Mode (for prettier visuals) and Performance Mode (for snappier gameplay). Think of it as choosing between looking fancy or feeling fast — your call, no judgment either way.
Docked VRR — the quiet hero
The headline feature here is support for the Switch 2’s docked VRR (variable refresh rate). That means when you play on your TV, the console and your display can sync up to reduce screen tearing and give frame pacing a smoother, less jagged ride. It won’t suddenly make you a pro, but your eyes will thank you.
What this means for players
If you already liked the game on other systems, this port aims to keep the experience intact while giving Switch 2 owners nicer TV performance. Expect the usual Guardians charm — jokes, space chaos, and questionable teamwork — now with the option for smoother visuals when docked.
Trailer and final thoughts
There’s a trailer available from the publisher if you want to get a quick look before buying. Bottom line: if you’ve been waiting to play Guardians on a handheld/console hybrid and you care about TV playback quality, the Switch 2 release with Docked VRR is worth checking out.
