The release date for the Nintendo Switch 2 remains uncertain, but new report (via Wccftech) suggest it could launch in the first half of 2025, though not within the current fiscal year ending in March. According to Tokyo Securities analyst Hideki Yasuda, the console might debut between April and June 2025.

Based on machine translation of the page, the report also mentions that the new Switch will have performance lower than the PlayStation 4 Pro. Assuming this means the console is having a similar ballpark in terms of performance, we’re looking at a decently powerful machine that should easily handle the kind of games available on Switch today. Yasuda also says the cost of Switch 2 will be $499, or around RM2,205 at today’s exchange rates.

Just last week, it is known that developers were told to not expect the new Switch within the fiscal year, which was the date originally announced by Nintendo which they will make the official announcement for the next-gen model.

While official details about the Nintendo Switch 2 are sparse, previous leaks indicate that it will offer performance similar to the Steam Deck. Additionally, it may feature NVIDIA’s new Ampere-based GPU in a custom ARM-based SoC, with upscaling technologies commonly found in modern RTX GPUs today to help it deliver high resolutions to TV screens.
