Nintendo Switch is a high end mobile device, fully capable of playing AAA games on the go- this also means that it probably eats through the battery life like nothing else. The Switch's battery life is rated at 3-5 hours, which is honestly impressive for the amount of tech that is packed into this little thing. But what if you begin to run out of battery while playing a game?
There are many exciting updates this month for Xbox. Copilot for Gaming is available now for early preview on mobile and will be coming to PC soon. Xbox PC app introduces a wave of new updates: Aggregated gaming library gives players quick access to games from Xbox, Game Pass, and other leading PC storefronts, and with publisher channels players can browse their favorite franchises. Updates for the Xbox Console includes customization for Most Recently Used, free-to-play benefits, Game Hubs, and dialog improvements for game saves.
"Players can now hide system apps, pin favorites to the list, and reduce the number of tiles displayed. This update is part of our ongoing effort to make Home more personal, flexible, and responsive to feedback."
This is welcomed, i like a less cluttered home screen.
The three most beautiful sights in this world are: 1) your spouse on your wedding day 2) the birth of your first child 3) a walkthrough for Ecco the Dolphin in some long forgotten scrawl.
"Nintendo Switch 2 is a safe and solid follow-up in many respects but it has its issues, including the Virtual Game Card system and an aging UI."

Not sure what games you're playing to average 5 to 6 hours battery. Mariokart World and Zelda gets 2 and a half hours max.
Yea don’t think id get 6 hours in sleep mode!
I think there’s a lot of internal software issues with the battery management.
Sleep mode kills the battery almost as quick as playing games does. Playing switch 1 games seems to kill the battery faster than playing switch 2 games for the most part. Even playing a very, very basic switch 1 game seems to drain the battery much faster than I would expect it to.
gamingbolt plague of the gaming community. If you see this name on the link (gamingbolt #) don't click on it. Seriously, they take one line from a game developer and make a whole article to make them seem relevant etc etc etc. They aren't.
