Right now, the main things we know about the Switch 2 hardware that distinguish it from the original Switch are that it's bigger and has more horsepower inside. The widespread expectation is that it will be roughly as powerful as a PlayStation 4 Pro or maybe even a Steam Deck, possibly with the ability to upscale games to 4K using DLSS technology.

The Nintendo Switch 2 was revealed in an online broadcast on January 16, with a full reveal to be held on Wednesday, April 2 - here's everything we know so far about the new console

The Nintendo Switch 2 release window could be three months away in June 2025, according to a YouTube leaker corroborating previous rumors surrounding the console's launch.
