If you’re the type of player who likes to share video footage of your mad skills, you may be disappointed to hear that clips recorded on the Nintendo Switch 2 will apparently be limited to only 30 seconds.
According to the Nintendo Today app, the Switch 2 will have the same 30-second video capture limitation as the original Switch. And while the average player just looking to grab a quick clip of a cool in-game moment isn’t likely to be particularly bothered by this constraint, it’s likely to be much more frustrating for enthusiasts who were hoping the Switch 2 would provide upgraded abilities.
The Switch 2’s 30-second cap on video capture falls behind the abilities of the PS5, which can capture up to 30 minutes internally or 60 minutes on external storage. For Switch 2 users to obtain similar capabilities, they’d need to invest in an external capture card, which can be a costly venture.
