The Nintendo Switch successor’s launch might be just around the corner. The company’s highly anticipated Switch 2 model has surfaced in new rumors that hint at a launch that isn’t too far away.

Nintendo Switch 2 could launch in 2024

Nintendo’s Switch 2 is apparently set to launch sometime next year. The news arrives from court documents from the recent Microsoft and FTC case. In a particular paragraph, Microsoft mentions the successor of the Switch. The document reads “Switch was released three years earlier, and Nintendo is expected to release the successor to the Switch as early as next year, whereas PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X|S are at a different stage of the console life cycle”.

This means that Nintendo’s competitors in the gaming space are expecting the next-gen handheld console to launch in 2024. Although, Doug Bowser, President of Nintendo, feels that the Switch still has a couple of years left. Earlier this year, the official stated that “It’s exciting to see that demand is still there. So nothing to announce on any future console or device, but we are still feeling very bullish about Nintendo Switch.”

Keep in mind that this is still just an unconfirmed report, so take this news with a pinch of salt for now. Back in June, we also covered another report where an Activision Blizzard executive claimed that the Nintendo Switch 2 could be just as powerful as the Sony PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Xbox One. So stick around for more updates regarding this matter.
