Fast Fusion’s Pure update improves image quality, adds three returning tracks

The Nintendo Switch 2 has a stellar launch lineup for racing game fans. Mario Kart World is naturally the system’s tentpole launch title, but Shin’en Media’s futuristic racer Fast Fusion, the sequel to Switch launch title Fast RMX, is also worth checking out.  

While we praised Fast Fusion for its blinding speed and budget-friendly price, the futuristic racer suffered from graphical issues and a limited number of tracks compared to its predecessor. Thankfully, the first major post-launch update addresses these issues.

The latest patch adds a new ‘Pure’ quality mode, which renders the game at 1440p at 60fps in docked mode and a dynamic 1080p in handheld mode. Crucially, it also disables the DLSS upscaler, which results in pixelation and blurry image quality in other rendering modes.  

Fast Fusion Pure update v1.3 patch notes

• Added “Carbium Cup” with three new tracks: “Alpine Trust,” “Sunahara Plains” and “Zenshoh Habitat.” These tracks are based on FAST RMX tracks but with all new graphics and changed track layouts to allow to be played perfectly with the new Hyperjump feature.
• New “Pure” rendering mode without any upscaling, rendering at 1440p docked, 1080p handheld (dynamic resolution)
• New GPU particle system for snow.
• Two new jukebox entries.
• Easier progression (lower price for 3rd cup).
• Fixed an issue where the game shut down when changing render mode.
• Stability and performance improvements
