Nintendo is preparing Switch 2 for a Big Ray Tracing upgrade confirmed to be in the development stages. We examine and analyze how this new variant of Ray Tracing can work for Switch 2 and discuss how this could be very beneficial not only for Ray Traced Reflections on Nintendo's hardware but also for the performance gains, all again being done on the software level. We also discuss a new update on the progress of a potential Expedition 33 Switch 2 port from a developer interview.
