The momentum of the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal trailer is currently outpacing Sony's PlayStation 5 announcement from summer 2020.

The Nintendo Switch 2, the successor to the Nintendo Switch system, will be released in 2025. In a new promotional video, Nintendo showed off a larger version of the Switch that looks similar to its predecessor.

The first Switch was a revelation. When it launched, I marveled over being able to play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on my TV and then take the console out of the dock

The announcement doesn’t come as a surprise—especially in the wake of CES 2025, where several peripheral makers were bold enough to display replicas of the unrevealed hardware to showcase their Switch 2 accessories—but you might be shocked at just how closely the upcoming Switch 2 sticks to the form and function of its predecessor.

There's little doubt the Switch 2 is going to be the hottest hardware this year. After years of rumors, Nintendo officially revealed its newest console on Thursday morning, and a lot of Nintendo fans are excited to get their hands on it, which means preorders will likely be hard to come by.

Japan's Nintendo said on Thursday it will release the Switch 2 console this year, unveiling a device that appeared to closely follow the design of its popular predecessor.

The Switch 2 exists. We know that for sure. It’s bigger — seems like we know that, too. But what else do we know about the sequel to one of Nintendo’s most innovative and bestselling consoles? Maybe not as much as you might think.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is coming in 2025. Here are all of the confirmed details, rumors and speculation regarding the upcoming console.

According to former Nintendo staffers Krysta Yang and Kit Ellis, the company is "really mad" at the amount of leaks about the Nintendo Switch 2.
