Back in February, reports emerged that the yet-to-be-confirmed Switch 2 had been delayed internally, pushing it back to 2024 and into the first quarter of 2025 to ensure the console had a strong launch lineup (perhaps Elves Pokémon: ZA”?). Previous reports have suggested that the Switch successor will be a hybrid with a larger screen.
Other previous reports claimed that Nintendo had secretly demonstrated the features of the new console at Gamescom 2023. Documents also surfaced during the FTC v. Microsoft case.

The console is also said to support DLSS and ray tracing, with various development sources claiming that demos showed The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild running at 4K/60fps. It is said that the 8-inch LCD screen is produced by Sharp.
According to reports, the Switch 2 will also be backwards compatible with digital and physical Switch games, some of which will also receive support for enhanced features.
