Higher Render Distance for Minecraft Bedrock Edition for Switch 2

Ever since the Switch 2 was released on June 5 2025 it would be nice if there was a patch update for Switch 2 of Minecraft to have higher render distance like more than 12 chunks to have the game optimized for the systems full power to have 16, 20, or even 32 chunks on the Switch 2 version of Minecraft to see even farther.

    Agreed, please give Switch users an update that simply increases the render distance options, to make user of the Switch 2 power. Or alternatively update to vibrant visuals.

    But even if only the maximum chunk render distance would be increased from 12 to 16 or 20 this would already help a lot and cannot be much of an issue programing-wise.

    I think there is more incentive to make a switch 2 version then there was with the PS5, as the switch 2 has more changes compared to the switch than the PS5 to PS4. Vibrant Visuals would be nice as there is no shaders on the marketplace, mouse mode is a necessity, and a larger render distance similar or even bigger than the PS4.

    Why are we still waiting for this after 6 months with no updates anywhere? And how did Mojang/Microsoft miss this update for the holiday season? I hope Switch 2 render distance update comes out before all Christmas gift cards are used up…
