Recorded Clips On Switch 2 Are Apparently Limited To 30 Seconds

For those players who enjoy showcasing their impressive gameplay via video recordings, it might come as a letdown to learn that clips captured from the Nintendo Switch 2 are reportedly restricted to a maximum duration of 30 seconds.

As per the Nintendo Today app, the upcoming Switch 2 is expected to retain the 30-second video capture limit, similar to the original model. This might not bother casual players seeking a brief in-game moment clip, but avid gamers who anticipated advanced features in the Switch 2 may find this limitation quite frustrating.

Compared to the video capturing capacity of the PS5 that extends up to 60 minutes with external storage, the 30-second limit on the Switch 2 is relatively modest. To match this level, Switch 2 users would have to purchase an external capture card, which can be quite expensive.

There’s been no information released about whether the Switch 2 will record video in higher resolutions and frame rates compared to the first Switch, which was limited to 720p and 30 frames per second. However, considering upgrades are typically made, it’s reasonable to assume that the next console might offer some improvement, though Nintendo has yet to make any official statements.

Could it be that we’ll learn more as we approach the launch date of Switch 2 on June 5. Till then, feel free to explore the accessibility features on GameChat and take a peek at the confirmed and speculated games slated for the console.
