What happened

Coverage confirms the game will support two quality modes: one optimized for **1440p resolution at 60 FPS**, and another tailored for the Switch 2’s handheld display. The announcement follows Square Enix’s earlier reveal of the *Definitive Edition* for the new console, positioning it as a technical showcase for the hardware’s capabilities.

Outlets including *GamerBraves*, *Nintendo Life*, and *Noisy Pixel* have led the reporting, emphasizing the **60 FPS frame rate** as a standout feature for local multiplayer and fast-paced combat. *Instant Gaming News* and *Nintendo Everything* highlight the **1440p upscaling** as a direct response to player demands for higher visual fidelity on the Switch 2’s docked mode. Speculation centers on whether this will set a new benchmark for third-party titles on the platform.

Watch for Square Enix to clarify whether these modes will be exclusive to the *Definitive Edition* or retroactively applied to existing *Dragon Quest XI S* owners. Nintendo’s broader ecosystem—including potential backward compatibility tweaks—could also influence how other RPGs adapt to the Switch 2’s hardware.
