Switch 2 Overview

Release Date: Announcement Expected Soon

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

Price: Likely Higher Than Previous Models

Anticipated price increases and upgraded hardware suggest a higher price point than the original Switch ($299.99) or Switch OLED ($349.99). Estimates range from $349.99 to $399.99.

Specifications: PS4/Xbox One-Level Power

The Switch 2 will likely utilize a next-generation Nvidia system-on-a-chip, potentially surpassing the Tegra X1 in the current Switch. Some reports suggest the Nvidia T239, offering performance comparable to the PS4 and Xbox One. An 8-inch screen size has been mentioned, with potential for an OLED display.

Switch 2 Rumored Specs and Features

Recent reports indicate an 8-core Cortex-A78AE processor, 8GB of RAM, and potentially 512GB of storage – a substantial upgrade over current models. Improved battery life and a 120Hz OLED display are also anticipated. The hybrid nature of the console, supporting both handheld and docked modes with potential 4K output, is expected.

Potential Launch Titles

Currently, no official launch titles have been announced. The upcoming Switch 2 announcement will likely shed light on this. The continued release of new titles for the original Switch in 2024 and early 2025 suggests some titles might be delayed or exclusive to the Switch 2.
