Switch 2 Release Date: TBA, but Announcement Confirmed Coming Soon
The existence of the Switch 2 has only been fairly recently confirmed by Nintendo, and as such, a release date for the Switch successor has yet to be confirmed or announced. However, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa said they intend to make an announcement regarding the Switch 2 before the current fiscal year ends on March 31, 2025.

Switch 2 Price: Could Cost $349.99 Upwards
The Switch 2 is anticipated to come with a higher price tag compared to the existing Switch models, taking into account the general price increases in products and the likelihood of significantly enhanced hardware. The original Switch launched for $299.99, while the Nintendo Switch OLED **released** for $349.99.

Given that the Switch 2 is expected to feature substantial improvements, we estimate that the Switch 2's retail price ranges from $349.99 to $399.99.

Switch 2 Specs: As Powerful as PS4 / Xbox One
The Switch 2 will likely stick with a system-on-a-chip from Nvidia, possibly a next-generation version of the Tegra X1 chip found in the current Switch, as suggested by tech news outlets. Meanwhile, others suggest that the new Switch could use Nvidia's T239 system-on-a-chip, which is understood to make the Switch 2 as powerful as the PS4 and Xbox One.

Moreover, the Switch 2 is expected to come with an 8-inch screen. That's according to Hiroshi Hayase, an analyst from London-based independent consultancy firm, Omdia. Moreover, in 2022, Osaka-based company Sharp Corp. claimed that it was supplying LCD panels and working closely with Nintendo on the upcoming console that was then at its research and development stage. More recent reports, on the other hand, suggest that the Switch 2 will come with an OLED display at launch.

Recent reports suggest that the Switch 2 will feature an 8-core Cortex-A78AE processor, 8GB of RAM, and 64GB of internal embedded Multi-Media Card (eMMC) storage, which would be a significant improvement in power compared to the current Switch models. The Switch 2's onboard storage is speculated to be around 512GB, a significant upgrade over the 32GB and 64GB available in the original Switch and Switch OLED models, respectively.

Additionally, the Switch 2 could offer significantly improved battery life, exceeding the current model's peak of 9 hours. The console will also likely feature 120 Hz refresh rate with a 7 or 8-inch OLED display. Various tech outlets report that Nintendo will likely stick with a system-on-a-chip from Nvidia, possibly a next-generation version of the Tegra X1 chip found in the current Switch. Meanwhile, others suggest that the Switch 2 could use Nvidia's T239 system-on-a-chip, which is understood to make the handheld console as powerful as the PS4 and Xbox One.

The Switch 2 is expected to be a hybrid system, capable of connecting to a television or being used as a portable device. There are also rumors of a co-processor chip that could be housed inside the Switch 2 to boost the console's power and video output when docked and connected to a 4K TV.

Switch 2 Games Possible at LaunchNo Announcements Yet, Switch Still Releasing New Titles in 2025

Switch 2 Release Date, Specs, Price, News, Rumors and More

There is no verifiable information out there yet regarding Switch 2 games that are launching once Nintendo's newest handheld game console bursts into the scene. The second half of 2024 is still packed with new Switch titles set to come out, and the first quarter of 2025 already sees several upcoming Switch games including Donkey Kong Country Returns HD.

Given that we can expect Nintendo to make an announcement regarding the Switch 2 any time before the fiscal year ends on March 31, 2025, we expect some games releasing by then to either not be available on the console or launch on the Switch 2 platform at a later time.
