Nintendo has confirmed the Switch 2's existence, but a release date remains unannounced. However, President Shuntaro Furukawa has promised an announcement before March 31, 2025.

Price: $349.99 and Up

Considering hardware improvements and general price inflation, the Switch 2 is expected to be more expensive than previous Switch models. Estimates range from $349.99 to $399.99.

Specs: PS4/Xbox One Level Power

The Switch 2 is likely to utilize a next-generation Nvidia system-on-a-chip, potentially a Tegra X1 successor or even Nvidia's T239, offering performance comparable to the PS4 and Xbox One.

Analyst Hiroshi Hayase from Omdia predicts an 8-inch screen, while earlier reports from Sharp Corp. indicated LCD panel supply. More recent speculation points to an OLED display at launch.

Switch 2 Rumored Specs and Features

Reports suggest significant upgrades over the current Switch, including an 8-core Cortex-A78AE processor, 8GB RAM, and potentially 512GB of storage. Improved battery life and a 120Hz OLED display are also anticipated. The hybrid design, allowing both docked and handheld play, is expected to continue, with potential for a co-processor to enhance 4K output when docked.

Potential Launch Games: Unconfirmed

No official launch titles have been announced. With the expected announcement before March 31, 2025, some currently announced Switch games might be delayed or become Switch 2 exclusives. For more on upcoming Switch releases, see the related article below.
