The long-awaited Nintendo Switch 2 may be closer to becoming a reality. According to the Italian website UAGNA , the console's release date would be March 28, 2025. The information came to light after the website reported that accessories for the device, both from Nintendo itself and third-party manufacturers, would also be scheduled to hit the market on the same day.

Although the information has not yet been officially confirmed by Nintendo, the forecast is in line with previous speculation. Sources indicate that the console's official announcement should take place in January 2025, following a pattern similar to the launch of the first model in 2017.
Timeline reveals pattern in Nintendo console launches
The first version of the Nintendo Switch was revealed in October 2016, with subsequent demonstrations in December and an official event in January 2017. The console hit stores in March of that year. For the Switch 2, Nintendo appears to be adjusting its strategy by concentrating all presentations and events in January, keeping the debut in March.
This compact schedule suggests the company wants to leverage the early part of the year to focus entirely on the launch, eliminating fragmented events. Experts see this decision as a way to optimize marketing campaigns and generate continued anticipation leading up to the launch date.
Expected technologies could transform the gaming experience on Nintendo Switch 2
Beyond the timing, expectations for the Switch 2 are high. Rumors point to significant performance improvements, while maintaining the hybrid design that made the first model famous. Speculated new features include increased graphics capabilities and support for modern technologies like ray tracing and 4K resolution.
If confirmed, these improvements would put Nintendo in a position to compete directly with the most advanced consoles on the market, such as the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Even so, the brand must maintain its unique selling point: exclusive games and an accessible offering.
Launch strategies focus on financial results
The March launch coincides with the end of the Japanese fiscal year, a strategic period for Nintendo. A solid performance of the Switch 2 during this period could solidify positive financial results for 2025. Furthermore, the simultaneous arrival of accessories suggests the company is banking on a robust ecosystem to attract players.
While Nintendo remains silent, rumors like these continue to fuel the interest of fans and experts. If predictions are true, the Switch 2 will have the mission to replicate the success of its predecessor, which has already sold over 129 million units worldwide.
