The Nintendo Switch’s successor, tentatively known as the Nintendo Switch 2, has been confirmed by Nintendo, promising backward compatibility with the current console. While official details on the reveal and release date remain scarce, a recent leak suggests the console’s launch might be sooner than expected, potentially in the first quarter of 2025.
This information originates from Famiboards, a forum that has been a source of several Nintendo Switch 2 leaks in recent months. User LiC reports that NVIDIA shipped over 800,000 units of the NVIDIA T239 to one of Nintendo’s contract assemblers in September.
The substantial size of this shipment and its timing point towards the Nintendo Switch 2 being well into production, possibly nearing its release stage. This aligns with previous rumors suggesting a Q1 2025 launch, a timeframe that initially seemed improbable for a console yet to be officially unveiled. While a release by March might sound ambitious, these shipping details lend credence to the rumors.
It’s important to treat this information with caution, as it remains unconfirmed. Neither Nintendo nor NVIDIA have commented on this leak, and both companies have a history of refraining from addressing rumors or speculation. We don’t anticipate any official statements, but if they do emerge, we will update this article accordingly.
If the Nintendo Switch 2 is to be revealed this year, the window of opportunity is closing rapidly. The Game Awards, scheduled for December 12, is likely the last major event before the holiday season. Traditionally, announcements during the latter half of December and early January are rare.
