Information About the VR Mode of Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 04: VR Kit

Important: Nintendo Labo is not compatible with Nintendo Switch Lite.

Note: Nintendo Switch – OLED Model has a larger, 7-inch OLED screen which may impact the VR effect while using Toy-Con VR Goggles. When using VR Mode in Nintendo Labo: VR Kit, the image size on the screen is reduced to maintain the VR effect. Automatic detection to switch to VR Mode is not possible on Nintendo Switch – OLED Model, so the "VR Mode Auto-Switch" setting should be set to Off in Nintendo Labo: VR Kit.

VR mode is available when playing VR-supported games, using the Toy-Con VR Goggles included in Nintendo Labo: VR Kit.
