Nintendo Switch continues to shatter sales records. Released in 2017, the hybrid console has sold over 140 million units in its lifetime, closing in on the PlayStation 2’s all-time record. As the company celebrates this success, it is also carefully planning its next generation of hardware.
At the center of these plans is, of course, the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2. Rumors regarding the console’s release date have been swirling for a long time, with speculation ranging from immediate availability to an imminent launch. However, Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa has yet to announce a release date for the Switch 2. Here are the details…
When Will Nintendo Switch 2 Be Released?
The question of “When will the Nintendo Switch 2 be released?” has been on everyone’s mind for a long time. However, during a meeting with shareholders, Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa provided an answer.
In his speech, Furukawa stated that they would announce the release of the Nintendo Switch 2 within this fiscal year, guaranteeing its release before April 2025. Nintendo’s fiscal year ends on March 31st.
Furukawa also emphasized that they would host an event in June, but it would solely focus on Nintendo games, with no details about the Switch 2. The Nintendo Switch 2 is expected to debut between July 2024 and March 2025.
Expectations for the new console include stronger graphics, better battery life, a smoother experience with technologies like DLSS, and more. While it’s still unclear how many of these expectations the company will meet, we’ll likely have a clearer picture after the June event.
