Switch 2: Everything we know about Nintendo's next console
UPDATE: The Switch 2 is now here, read our full round-up of its launch the its release day games.
The Nintendo Switch 2 has finally been revealed and we know now the sucessor to one of the best-selling consoles of all time will be released in June 2025.
While the Switch 2 was unveiled at the beginning of this year, we had to wait a couple of months to learn more about the console. Now that the Switch 2 Nintendo Direct has come and gone, we’re left only to wait until the console is released. Though that’s not to say we didn’t learn an awful lot from that presentation. There was the expected round of information on the release date, price and launch games, but we also got a number of rumours confirmed. (Especially when it came to the partner game line-up.)
So, whether you want to learn more about Switch 2 or are simply whetting your appetite before the console launches, we’ve found everything we know about the Nintendo Switch 2 down below. We’ve outlined the Switch 2 specs, taken a look at the console’s features and every game currently announced for the console. Though, if you’re lucky, you might have a slot to go hand-on with the console before it hit shelves thanks to the Switch 2 public tour. First though, take the time to see what we learned at our Switch 2 hands-on session.
