Latest Switch 2 News

• Official announcement of the Switch 2 is confirmed for this fiscal year (ending March 31, 2025).
• Despite the upcoming Switch 2, current Switch sales remain robust.

Switch 2 Overview

Nintendo has officially confirmed the Switch 2's existence, though a release date remains unannounced. However, Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa has promised an announcement before the end of the current fiscal year (March 31, 2025).

The Switch 2 is projected to launch at a higher price point than its predecessors, reflecting both general inflation and anticipated hardware improvements. The original Switch launched at $299.99, while the OLED model debuted at $349.99. Considering the expected upgrades, a retail price between $349.99 and $399.99 seems plausible.

Switch 2 Rumored Specs and Features

Reports suggest the Switch 2 will boast an 8-core Cortex-A78AE processor, 8GB of RAM, and 512GB of internal storage – a substantial upgrade from the original Switch's 32GB and the Switch OLED's 64GB. Improved battery life exceeding 9 hours is also anticipated. A 7 or 8-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate is rumored. Nvidia's next-generation system-on-a-chip, potentially a successor to the Tegra X1 or the T239, is expected to power the console, potentially matching the power of PS4 and Xbox One. The console is anticipated to retain its hybrid functionality, supporting both handheld and docked modes with potential 4K output when docked.

Potential Launch Games

Currently, there's no confirmed information regarding launch titles for the Switch 2. However, with the announcement expected before March 31st, 2025, some games currently slated for release may be delayed or become Switch 2 exclusives.
