The first Nintendo Switch might lack strong hardware specs, but tinkerers found ways to make it shine. Someone overclocked the system and added 8 GB of RAM, making it run PlayStation 3 games through an emulator called RPCS3.
YouTube user Naga shared footage of this modded Switch running several PS3 titles with surprising results. Games like Rayman Origins play almost perfectly at 1440p resolution. The Sly Raccoon and Kingdom Hearts HD collections also perform well on the tweaked device. Tougher games such as Demon's Souls and Prince of Persia: Sands of Time HD reach only about 20 frames per second, which remains impressive given how hard PS3 emulation can be.
These experiments hint at what might be possible with the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2's stronger hardware. The new console packs much more power than the original model. It supports advanced graphics features like ray tracing and NVIDIA DLSS upscaling technology. Developers recently confirmed that Cyberpunk 2077 for Switch 2 will use NVIDIA DLSS, marking a first for the platform. Gamers will watch closely as developers learn to use these tools for better visuals and smoother gameplay.
