Minecraft on Nintendo Switch Now 1080p While Docked

Minecraft on the Nintendo Switch is the newest iteration of the title. At least, we think it is – the title seems to pop up on everything these days. One of the big complaints about the title when it released was the fact that it ran with a 720p resolution while docked and handheld. It’s expected to run at 720p while docked, since that’s the resolution of the screen, but players expected to get a little more horsepower while the console was docked.

According to the patch notes for Patch 6 for the game, players will now be able to achieve a full 1080p resolution with Minecraft while the Switch is placed in its dock. Most of the other changes that came with the patch came in the form of bugs fixes and other things of that nature. At least fans of the game will now be able to experience the game in 1080p like its Xbox One and PS4 counterparts.

Here are the full patch notes for Patch 6:
