Leaked information reveals the Nintendo Switch 2 dock will not be compatible with the original Switch charger, indicating a more powerful 60W charger for the next-generation console.
Just announce it already, Nintendo . We’ve reached the point where info about the Switch 2 ’s charger is leaking online ahead of any formal reveal from Nintendo . While there remains very little information, leaked or otherwise, about the sort of games that will release for the Nintendo Switch 2 , there’s no shortage of leaks about the hardware. Ever since the end of 2024, the frequency of Switch 2 leaks has only increased.
Just this week, fans found evidence suggesting the Joy-Con controllers can double as a computer mouse and a breakdown of its alleged tech suggests it can run ports of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X games. Earlier today, additional details about the Switch 2’s dock made their way online, which seem to confirm that the console won’t be compatible with the original Switch’s charger. This comes courtesy of games journalist Laura Kate Dale, who also once leaked details for the original Switch. Although she’s since moved away from gaming leaks, she was recently sent a photo of the Switch 2’s dock by a ‘trusted source,’ and thus has shared details on her social media accounts. The actual photo isn’t particularly exciting, only showing input and output voltage information on the back of the dock. However, Dale claims that the Switch 2 will ship with a 60W charger. The new dock is unlikely to look that much different from the original one. By comparison, the original Switch’s charger is only 39W. As such, Dale speculates it won’t be powerful enough to charge up the Switch 2, at least when it’s docked. This doesn’t necessarily mean you couldn’t use the original charger with the Switch 2 while it is out of the dock. But we can’t imagine it’d be as efficient and would likely take longer to fully charge up the console. Dale has made it clear she has no other information to share on the matter, so eager Nintendo fans shouldn’t expect further leaks from her
