Switch 2 Overview

Release Date: TBA, but Announcement Confirmed

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

Price: Expected Increase

A higher price point than previous Switch models is anticipated, reflecting both general inflation and the expected hardware upgrades. Considering the original Switch launched at $299.99 and the Switch OLED at $349.99, a price range of $349.99 to $399.99 is a reasonable estimate.

Specifications: PS4/Xbox One Level Power

The Switch 2 is likely to utilize a next-generation Nvidia system-on-a-chip, potentially a successor to the Tegra X1. Some reports suggest Nvidia's T239, potentially achieving PS4 and Xbox One performance levels. Analyst Hiroshi Hayase from Omdia predicts an 8-inch screen, while Sharp Corp. previously confirmed their involvement in supplying LCD panels (although more recent rumors point to an OLED display).

Rumored Specifications and Features

Current speculation points to an 8-core Cortex-A78AE processor, 8GB of RAM, and 512GB of internal storage – a significant upgrade from the original Switch. Improved battery life (beyond 9 hours) and a 120Hz OLED display are also anticipated. The hybrid nature of the system (docked and handheld modes) is expected to continue, with potential for a co-processor to enhance 4K output when docked.

Potential Launch Titles

No official launch titles have been announced. However, given the expected announcement timeline, some games slated for release before March 31, 2025, may be delayed or become Switch 2 exclusives later.
