A recent leak has offered us some interesting insight regarding an upcoming Nintendo console. The news arrives from an Nvidia source code leak that hints at a new Switch successor (Switch 2), or the Switch Pro.

Since the leak, the Nintendo Switch Pro and Switch 2 have begun trending on Twitter. There had previously been rumors regarding an Pro model for the Switch handheld gaming console, which would have offered native 4K support, although, these have never been confirmed by the Japanese company. With its rival console makers launching the Xbox Series X/S and the PS5, its only a matter of time till Nintendo unveils its own next gen console that features performance upgrades and other new features.

But despite various rumors, the only new release from the company was an OLED Switch variant. However, the Nvidia source code leak, following a cyberattack, revealed files that hint at a new Switch model. The folders in the leak are listed as “nvn2.” For those unaware, the original Switch had an API labelled as nvn. Keep in mind that this listing is not a direct confirmation that the company is working on a new Switch model, so take this report with a pinch of salt.

Additionally, it is also entirely possible that “nvn2” is being used to designate something entirely different. But if it is true, then the Nintendo Switch 2/Pro will feature support for DLSS for its games. The company has seen great success with its existing Switch lineup, even including the OLED variant, so it won’t be a surprise if it planned on launching a new Pro model to compete with the recently released Steam Deck handheld gaming console that is more powerful than any Switch version in the market.
