Switch 2 Doesn’t Like It When You Use HD Rumble For Too Long

by

The Switch 2 features an integrated HD Rumble limiter. Users have experienced occasional pauses in vibration after prolonged usage, but the specific cause remains undetermined at this point.

Playing games with extended periods of intense vibration can cause the Joy-Con controllers to temporarily stop rumbling. Once a certain level of usage is reached, Switch 2 will display a message to the user saying, “Vibration has been disabled due to extended use.

In Cyberpunk 2077, we encountered an issue where the HD Rumble stopped working when using the mini-gun. It appears that other players have experienced this too, as prolonged high-frequency vibrations caused by the mini-gun seem to consistently activate this shutoff feature. In my case, I was holding down the trigger for an extended period of time before it occurred.

Nintendo hasn’t explicitly explained why the Switch 2 disables HD Rumble, but some users suspect it might be to conserve battery life in the Joy-Cons. Most players, including us, have noticed that the shutoff appears temporary and the HD Rumble function resumes promptly. However, a few gamers are complaining that the shutoff is happening more frequently and lasting longer. Although these reports are largely anecdotal at this point, we’ll keep an eye on the situation to determine if it could indicate a more significant issue with the Switch 2 Joy-Cons as suggested by IGN.

As a passionate admirer, I must confess that the unusual incident surrounding the Switch 2 hasn’t dampened my enthusiasm one bit. Quite the contrary, it appears that people are overwhelmingly content with this new console, making it Nintendo’s fastest-selling device to date. Remarkably, even with limited stock availability, it continues to garner significant interest.

Recently, the buzz and scarcity of the Switch 2 have ignited a daring endeavor – a million-dollar heist of these consoles in Colorado. Such an event only serves to underscore the immense appeal and anticipation surrounding this remarkable piece of gaming technology.
