Tomodachi Life Tops US April Sales as Switch 2 Sparks Hardware Surge

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream led April US sales with over $41M in combined physical and projected digital sales, fueling a 44% YoY rise in new physical software spending; Capcom's Pragmata debuted second, while total US video game spending reached $4.3B and hardware revenue rose 34% to $261M on the Switch 2’s momentum, with Nintendo's hardware share at a high for the period. Circana also notes a new Top 10 methodology and provides projected top titles for April 5–May 2, 2026.

GameChat Trick Boosts Pragmata on Switch 2 to 60fps

Digital Foundry demonstrates a quirk for Pragmata on Switch 2: using GameChat with a smaller window boosts frame rate from around 47–53fps to about 60fps by reducing internal rendering resolution. This effect appears specific to Capcom’s RE Engine titles; other games (e.g., Layers of Fear) may lose performance with GameChat. While not ideal, it offers a niche way to hit 60fps for Pragmata on Switch 2, rather than a general performance upgrade.

Switch 2 GameChat Window Sizes Boost FPS in Pragmata

Digital Foundry finds that Switch 2's GameChat can unexpectedly raise frame-rates in some Capcom RE Engine games by changing the game's effective resolution: a smaller GameChat window for Pragmata can hit a solid 60fps (while other sizes show mixed results), due to lower GPU load from a reduced base resolution. It's not a universal hack and isn’t ideal for full-screen play, but it’s a quirk worth knowing (and could matter for speedruns).

Crackers claim Denuvo bypass hits all non-VR games via Hypervisor exploit

Cracking forums, including CrackWatch, claim all non-VR Denuvo-protected games have been bypassed using a Hypervisor exploit that runs below the OS. Capcom’s Pragmata was cited as recently bypassed ahead of its launch. Irdeto says it’s developing countermeasures that won’t move Denuvo below the OS, but publishers may still face revenue impact (up to about 20% in the first week) until new protections land, effectively creating an open season for affected titles.

Pragmata Gets 1440p on Base PS5 via Pro Save Transfer — Curious, But Not Official

Digital Foundry shows Pragmata on PS5 can render at 1440p on a base PS5 by starting on a PS5 Pro and then transferring a cloud save back to the base console. The stock PS5 runs 1080p with FSR 1 upscaling to output a higher resolution, while the 1440p route delivers noticeably better visuals at the cost of frame rate (e.g., 57fps at 1080p vs 42fps at 1440p in similar scenes) and tighter frame-times. VRR isn’t available system-wide, so performance can suffer during dips; 120Hz VRR with low-framerate compensation would help. Capcom has not officially added 1440p and may patch it out; to revert, delete the Pro-injected save. This is an experimental, unsupported workaround and not recommended for a full playthrough.
