Game Console

Nintendo Switch 2

In 2025, Nintendo launched the Nintendo Switch 2, the successor to its groundbreaking hybrid console. Like the original, it can be used in handheld mode, placed on a table, or connected to a television, but everything feels more advanced and refined. The Switch 2 features a brighter, larger screen, smoother graphics, and faster performance, making games look and feel more immersive than ever. Its redesigned controllers attach magnetically, are more comfortable to hold, and can even function as a mouse when navigating menus or using apps. A new social system called GameChat allows players to talk or even video call directly through the console.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is a hybrid video game console developed by Nintendo, released in most regions on June 5, 2025. Like the original Switch, it can be used as a handheld, as a tablet, or connected via the dock to an external display, and the Joy-Con 2 controllers can be used while attached or detached. The Switch 2 has a larger liquid-crystal display, more internal storage, and updated graphics, controllers and social features. It supports 1080p resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate in handheld or tabletop mode, and 4K resolution with a 60 Hz refresh rate when docked.

Games are available through physical game cards and Nintendo’s digital eShop. Some game cards contain no data and require players to download the game content via an internet connection. Select Switch games can use the improved Switch 2 performance through either free or paid updates. The Switch 2 retains the Nintendo Switch Online subscription service, which is required for some multiplayer games and provides access to the Nintendo Classics library of older emulated games; GameCube games are exclusive to the Switch 2. The GameChat feature allows players to chat remotely and share screens and webcams.

Nintendo revealed the Switch 2 on January 16, 2025, and announced its full specifications and release details on April 2. Pre-orders in most regions began on April 5. The system received praise for its social and technical improvements over its predecessor, though the increased prices of the console and its games library were criticized. More than 3.5 million units were sold worldwide within four days of release, making the Switch 2 the fastest-selling Nintendo console. As of June 30, 2025, the Switch 2 has sold over 5.8 million units worldwide, while Mario Kart World, which was also bundled with the Switch 2, was its best-selling game with over 5.63 million copies sold.
