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 portal reported that accessories for the device, both from Nintendo itself and third parties, would also be scheduled to hit the market on the same day.
Although the information has not yet been officially confirmed by Nintendo, the prediction is in line with previous speculation. Sources indicate that the official announcement of the console should take place in January 2025, following a similar pattern to the launch of the first model in 2017.
Timeline reveals pattern in the launch of Nintendo consoles
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 the strategy by concentrating all presentations and events in January, keeping the debut in March.
This compressed schedule suggests that the company wants to use the beginning of the year to maintain full focus on the launch, eliminating fragmented events. Experts see this decision as a way to optimize marketing campaigns and generate continuous anticipation until the launch date.
Expected technologies could transform the gaming experience on Nintendo Switch 2
In addition to the calendar, expectations about the Switch 2 are high. Rumors point to significant advances in performance, maintaining the hybrid proposal that established the first model. Among the speculated new features are greater graphics capacity and support for modern technologies such as 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 the Xbox Series
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 consolidate positive financial results for 2025. Furthermore, the simultaneous arrival of accessories suggests that the company is betting on a robust ecosystem to attract players.
While Nintendo remains silent, rumors like these continue to fuel interest from fans and experts alike. Therefore, if the predictions are confirmed, the Switch 2 will have the mission of repeating the success of its predecessor, which has already sold more than 129 million units worldwide.
