Nintendo might announce more aspects of the Switch 2 before it’s actually revealed, as this information demonstrates. But do not expect an actual look at the hardware before 2025, and don’t be shocked if it looks…a lot like the current Switch with better graphics.

While the Switch 2 may be backwards compatible, Nintendo would not confirm whether we'll still be able to use our old cartridges.

Despite sales slump, plans for Switch 2 announcement remain on schedule for April 2025. The need for Switch 2 grows due to aging technology and struggles with third-party game performance.
