Nintendo Switch 2 to be released in 2025

January 19, 2025 0 By Gary

Okay, nobody panic. Today, Nintendo announced that the Switch 2 is going to be released in 2025! There’s been a ton of speculation over the past couple of years about when the new Switch was going to come out, and now, we finally know. The year, at least. Not the day. Or month. But it’s something!

They also released a trailer, which shows some of the physical revisions they’re making to the two, including new ports, grips, switches, and a built in stand!

They controllers are getting an upgrade too.

Check it out!

The new device surely looks sleeker, and more streamlined. Like a newer, sexier, Switch, that’s getting all gussied up for a date.

Switch 2 will have its own exclusive library, and can play physical and digital Switch 1 games, though not every game will be compatible. Looks like we’re going to learn a lot more during Nintendo Direct on April 2, 2025!
