Switch 2 Overview

Release Date: Announcement Coming Soon

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

Price: Likely $349.99 and Above

Expect a higher price point than previous Switch models, reflecting both general inflation and anticipated hardware improvements. The original Switch launched at $299.99, while the OLED model retails for $349.99. A price range of $349.99 to $399.99 seems plausible.

Specifications: PS4/Xbox One Level Power

The Switch 2 will likely utilize a next-generation Nvidia system-on-a-chip, potentially a successor to the Tegra X1. Some reports suggest Nvidia's T239 chip, which could match the processing power of the PS4 and Xbox One. An 8-inch screen size has been mentioned, although more recent reports favor an OLED display.

Switch 2 Rumored Specs and Features

Recent reports point to an 8-core Cortex-A78AE processor, 8GB RAM, and 512GB of storage – a substantial upgrade from previous models. Improved battery life and a 120Hz OLED display are also expected. The hybrid nature of the console (portable and docked) is likely to remain, with rumors of a co-processor for enhanced 4K performance when docked.
