The successor to the Nintendo Switch, the Switch 2, is officially revealed with a release date slated for late 2025. The new console boasts a larger screen, sleeker design, and larger JoyCon controllers. While retaining the original Switch's hybrid functionality, allowing for both handheld and docked play, Nintendo has yet to announce specific games launching alongside the console. The Switch 2 will be backward compatible with existing Switch games, and pricing is expected to be more affordable than next-gen consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X.
