Whispers from game developers indicate a post-April 2025 release for the highly anticipated Switch 2. GamesIndustry.biz's Chris Dring reports developers have been advised not to expect a launch within the current fiscal year (ending March 2025). Many are hoping for an April or May launch, aiming for an early, rather than late, release next year.

This timing might strategically avoid a launch clash with other major releases, such as the speculated Fall 2025 release of Rockstar Games' "GTA 6." Adding to the speculation, journalist Pedro Henrique Lutti Lippe hinted at a pre-August 2024 Switch 2 announcement, as reported by BGR. This aligns with Nintendo's stated intention to announce the Switch 2 before the end of their fiscal year (March 31, 2025). However, these remain unconfirmed until official word from Nintendo. Nintendo has confirmed an announcement within the current fiscal year.

Despite the upcoming Switch 2, Nintendo reiterates its commitment to maximizing both hardware and software sales for the current Switch, forecasting 13.5 million unit sales for FY2025. The company emphasizes its continued focus on maximizing software and hardware sales while acknowledging the significant number of active players still enjoying the current Switch.
