Nintendo has revealed the Switch 2, the long awaited successor to one of the best-selling consoles in history, will be released on June 5. Fans have been impatiently waiting to find out more since January, when the Japanese gaming giant ended months of speculation by confirming basic information about the new device.

This appears to run similarly to the “Download Play” option for the Nintendo DS. For example, one person may own a copy of Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain, but using the new GameShare option, your friends can jump in and join you to play, even if they don’t own it.

Several Nintendo trademarks have gone public from the USPTO, including the Switch 2 logos, some games, and even a theme park ride.

As announced during the livestream, the Nintendo Switch 2 will launch on June 5, 2025.

Japanese gaming giant expected to reveal release date, price and other key details in live presentation on Wednesday.

The Japanese gaming giant is about to release its latest console. The stakes have never been higher to end the boom-bust cycle that’s plagued the company for years.

After a reveal that was light on details, Nintendo has finally announced key information about the Switch 2: most notably, when it will launch. The Switch 2 will be available on June 5th, but we’re still waiting to hear the pricing for this new console.

We're just days away from Nintendo's big Switch 2 reveal, but I'm as nervous as I am excited. Like many other Nintendo fans, I was ecstatic when Nintendo finally posted a video unveiling the Switch 2's design back in January.
