The Nintendo Switch 2 has a release date at last. It's coming on June 5, 2025
The advent of the Nintendo Switch 2 has been a long time coming. The console has been rumored in some fashion or another for years, beginning with rumors of a Nintendo Switch Pro of some sort back in the middle of the original Switch's life cycle. Rumors of a Nintendo Switch 2 really kicked into gear at Gamescom 2023, when Nintendo allegedly showed the system to partners behind closed doors, and since then there's been a swell of reports, rumors, patents, and speculation as to the what, when, and how of it all. The console itself was finally unveiled for real in January of this year, though at the time we got very few details beyond the look and a glimpse of a new Mario Kart.
You can catch up on the wealth of information we got about the system from today's one-hour Nintendo Direct right here.
