A new rumor claims Nintendo is now aiming to release the successor the Nintendo Switch in Q1 2025, according to Brazilian games journalist Pedro Henrique Lutti Lippe on a new OX do Controle video. He received information from five separate sources.
Multiple sources have also told VideoGamesChronicle Nintendo is planning to launch the Switch 2 in the first quarter of 2025. Third-party developers were recently informed of an internal delay from late 2025 to early the next year.
One source believes the reason for the delay is so Nintendo could prepare a stronger first-party line-up for the console.
Eurogamer has also “heard similar whispers of an early 2025 launch from industry sources this week.” However, they have “not been able to concretely substantiate them.”
A Q1 2025 release window for the Switch 2 would be similar to the Switch, which launched on March 3, 2017.
