Nintendo Switch 2 Leaks and DLSS: The Latest in Gaming News
With the Nintendo Switch 2 drama reaching new levels, a massive Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remaster shadow drop, and intriguing details for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater and Persona fans, the past 24 hours have kept everyone on their toes. Let’s break down the most important gaming news and what these changes mean for players.
Switch 2 Leak Shocks the Gaming Community
Just when it seemed like the Switch 2 news couldn’t get any more dramatic, a video surfaced online showing what appears to be a genuine Switch 2 unit taken directly from a Chinese factory. The clip revealed the device undergoing its standard firmware tests—something all units go through before shipment. Given Nintendo’s reputation for moving quickly on leaks, it’s not surprising the video was taken down fast. The unique codes and identifiers shown during these tests likely made it easy for Nintendo to trace the source.
This leak follows a series of early Switch 2 images that hit the internet, which were cleverly edited to avoid detection. With the Switch 2’s official launch just weeks away, many now expect to see more leaks or even pre-release consoles popping up online. As Nintendo ramps up shipments, the next few weeks promise to be eventful, especially with the potential for unboxing videos and second-hand systems surfacing ahead of schedule.
DLSS Powers Street Fighter 6 on Switch 2 (Gaming News)
In another major development, Digital Foundry has confirmed that Street Fighter 6 on the Switch 2 uses Nvidia’s DLSS upscaling technology. Early analysis revealed that the game upscales from a base resolution of 960×540 to a crisp 1080p. This advancement brings a remarkably clean image quality, drawing comparisons to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S versions of the game. Street Fighter 6 looks so good on the new hardware that many fans now claim it outperforms older-generation consoles.

DLSS doesn’t just improve visuals—it also helps maintain a stable frame rate, which is essential for fighting games that demand a consistent 60 frames per second. As more developers leverage DLSS for Switch 2 games, players can expect better performance and visuals, both in handheld and docked modes.
Oblivion Remastered and Other Major Releases
Bethesda stunned fans by shadow dropping The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, developed with Virtuos. Using Unreal Engine 5, the remaster combines updated visuals and animations while preserving the classic gameplay. The remaster includes all DLC, new voice lines, an enhanced leveling system, and even additional combat mechanics such as dodging and sprinting. For $50, players receive the full package, with a $60 deluxe edition offering even more extras.
Early player feedback has been positive, with many praising the remaster’s balance of nostalgia and technical upgrades. The launch has also overshadowed new IPs like Claire Obscure: Expedition 33, although a significant number of players still intend to try the new release on Game Pass or during future sales.
Upcoming Adaptations and Persona 4 Remake Rumors (Gaming News)
The wave of video game adaptations continues as Universal reportedly prepares an Outrun movie, directed by Michael Bay and produced by Sydney Sweeney. While the project has raised eyebrows, the combination of high-speed action and Bay’s signature explosions could make for a unique cinematic experience.
Meanwhile, Persona fans have reason to celebrate. Recent updates to the P4RE.jp domain suggest that a Persona 4 remake announcement is imminent, likely coinciding with Microsoft’s event in June. With Atlus and Sega’s strong partnership with Microsoft, fans anticipate both a Persona 4 remake and the much-awaited Persona 6 reveal in the near future.
