Nintendo confirms that its next console will be backward compatible with current Switch games, answering one of players' most urgent questions before the console's release.

Nintendo hasn’t announced its Switch successor yet, but we do know one thing for sure: it will be able to play current Switch games and have carryover for your Nintendo Switch Online services and account. The news was announced during Nintendo’s midyear policy briefing, with further information promised “at a later date.”

Make your bet So… lay out your cards, GC. When do you think the Nintendo Switch 2 is going to be unveiled? They’re never going to do it on Halloween, so that’s October out the window. I know some rumours said October/early November, but I’m not sure any of these people know what they’re talking about.
