  "account": "Nintendo's latest system update for the Switch 2 has finally introduced Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support in docked mode. This update, System Update 23.0.0, brings smoother performance when playing games on compatible TVs and monitors. However, there is a catch - VRR support works on a \"whitelist\" system, meaning that it only operates on a title-by-title basis. So far, the only game that supports docked VRR is Nintendo's Switch 2 Welcome Tour, which has just been updated to include the feature.\n\nThe update also allows users to perform a complete data transfer from one Switch 2 to another, features a new toggle for Switch 2 Boost, improved accessibility support, and background music in the Mii editor. Additionally, the update includes unspecified interface tweaks, bug fixes, and optimizations.",
