Recent reports suggest a potential "Summer of Switch 2" in 2025, despite an anticipated April 2025 launch date. This contrasts with Nintendo's continued focus on maximizing sales of the current Switch model.
Industry whispers place the Switch 2 launch no earlier than April 2025. GamesIndustry.biz, citing developer sources, indicates that developers have been advised to not expect a release within the current fiscal year (ending March 2025). Many developers reportedly hope for an April or May launch.
This potential launch window might be strategically timed to avoid competition with other major releases, such as the anticipated "GTA 6" in Fall 2025. Further fueling speculation, journalist Pedro Henrique Lutti Lippe hinted at a pre-August 2024 Switch 2 announcement. This aligns with Nintendo's stated intention to announce the Switch 2 before the end of its current fiscal year (March 31, 2025). However, official confirmation remains pending.

Q1 FY2025 results showed a year-on-year sales decline, but overall sales for the year ending March 2024 exceeded expectations. The company emphasizes sustained user engagement, with over 128 million annual active users between July 2023 and June 2024.
Nintendo's strategy remains focused on maximizing both hardware and software sales for the current Switch, even with the Switch 2 on the horizon. The company projects 13.5 million Switch unit sales for FY2025. This suggests a continued commitment to the current console while preparing for the next generation.
