Ahead of launch, both the developer and publisher have confirmed detailed technical specifications for Mouse: P.I. for Hire across all platforms.

For Nintendo Switch 2 players, the game offers two distinct modes for handheld and docked play.

In handheld mode, players can experience smooth action at 900p resolution running at 60 frames per second when set to performance mode.

When docked, Mouse: P.I. for Hire delivers a crisp 1080p at 60fps in performance mode, while quality mode steps up to 1440p at 40fps, making use of the Switch 2’s enhanced hardware capabilities for those who prioritize graphical polish.
