Nintendo has officially revealed the first details regarding the successor to its incredibly popular console. Nintendo Switch 2 brings a series of enhancements that aim to make gameplay even more comfortable and versatile. One of the key elements of the new design is a larger screen with thinner bezels, allowing for better use of space without increasing the size of the housing itself.
After months of speculation, Nintendo has officially confirmed the existence of the Switch 2. Although the company has not revealed all the details yet, it is already known that the new version of the console will bring significant changes both in construction and functionality. The Switch 2 is set to feature a larger screen with thinner bezels, which will improve the experience in handheld mode, as well as an upgraded stand that provides a more stable position for the device.
The controllers will also undergo a revolution – the Joy-Cons in the new model will be magnetically mounted, which may mean the end of issues with mechanical rails and better ergonomics. The charging port will also change – the standard USB-C will replace the previous solutions, making it easier to use chargers and accessories. However, the most important information for existing users is the confirmed backward compatibility – games from the first Switch will work on the new hardware without any problems. Details regarding the specifications and release date are expected to be revealed in the coming months. One thing is certain, it will hit store shelves later this year, that is 2025.
