Summary
Nintendo Switch 2exclusiveFast Fusionwill have a day-one patch that will add a Quality mode to the game, enabling 4K gameplay. At least one more graphics mode may also be coming toFast Fusionpost-release, among other novelties.
Announced during the early April 2025 Nintendo Direct,Fast Fusionis the latest installment in theFastseries of futuristic arcade racers in the vein ofF-ZeroandWipeout. Like the first three entries in Shin’en Multimedia’s franchise, the upcoming title will be exclusive to a Nintendo console, with the upcoming Switch 2 being the target platform this time around.
The German developer has now confirmed thatFast Fusionwill have a day-one patch waiting for it once itreleases alongside the Switch 2 on June 5. The update will add a Quality graphics preset, targeting 4K resolution at 60 frames per second. The stated maximum resolution target applies to docked mode, as the console itself features a 1080p display.
Fast Fusion Won’t Have a 120fps Mode at Launch
While the presence of a 4K/60fps Quality mode implies its Performance counterpart will be of the 1440p/120fps variety, that won’t be the case. Shin’en Multimedia previously said it’s considering a 120fps mode, but confirmed it won’t be available at launch. TheFast Fusiondeveloper has yet to specify the frame rate target for the Performance mode included in the day-one patch. With 120fps ruled out and 60fps already targeted by the Quality preset, the most plausible alternative for the day-one Performance mode is an unlocked frame rate paired with a 1440p output. A middle-ground option such as 90fps appears unlikely, as 90Hz refresh rates are not standard on most TVs, making such a frame rate lock more prone to issues like screen tearing due to mismatched output and display refresh cycles.
Fast Fusionwill launch with 12 tracks and receive at least one free content updateat some point afterward. Shin’en Multimedia has yet to elaborate on what exactly it has in store for the game’s post-release content. Should the studio end up implementing a 120fps mode, it is plausible the preset would run at 1080p resolution, potentially even in docked mode. Like most Switch 2 titles,Fast Fusionis expected to utilize some degree of upscaling across most—if not all—of its graphics modes.
Apart from fast-paced gameplay and a variety of content, the upcoming sci-fi racer will also be looking to turn some heads with its price tag. At $14.99,Fast Fusionwill be among the most affordable Switch 2 launch titles.
