How to Check FPS on Nintendo Switch

Last updated
Curious about how to monitor the frames per second (FPS) on your Nintendo Switch? You’re in the right spot! Let’s dive into seeing how smooth your gaming experience is.
Wondering if you can check the FPS on your Nintendo Switch? It’s a common question for gamers looking to optimize their play.
Quick Answer: Is it Possible?
Unfortunately, the Nintendo Switch does not have a built-in feature that allows users to check the FPS directly. Nintendo designed the Switch for seamless gaming without the complexities of monitoring performance metrics like FPS.
However, that doesn’t mean you’re left completely in the dark. There are indirect ways to gauge your game’s performance, like paying attention to how smooth the gameplay feels, especially during graphically intense scenes.
