Minecraft Nintendo Switch update increases resolution

4.1
Mojang has released a new update for the Nintendo Switch version of Minecraft that bumps up the game’s resolution.

When the game launched, the developer stated that Minecraft only runs at 720p when docked due to bug that was caused by the game switching resolutions when moving between docked and undocked modes. At the time, the developer said that it would bump up the resolution if this bug could be fixed. Well, it turns out it can.

Following this update, Minecraft will run at 720p when undocked and 1080p when in the dock.

The update also adds a new Glide track, the Biome Settlers 2 Skin pack, and the Terracotta and Glazed Terracotta layers in Tumble. Read the full patch notes below:

Added Canyon, a free Glide track.
Added Biome Settlers 2 Skin pack.
Added Terracotta and Glazed Terracotta layers to Tumble.
Enable 1080p display when placed in the Nintendo Switch Dock.
