Get ready to wait a bit longer for the new Nintendo Switch 2! Reports are saying it won’t be out until 2025. This news might be disappointing for fans who were excited about getting their hands on the next big thing in gaming.
But it also shows that Nintendo wants to take their time to make something really good. In this article, we’ll talk about why the Nintendo Switch 2 is delayed and what it could mean for gamers like you.
Nintendo Switch 2 Release Date Pushed To 2025
It’s possible that the Nintendo Switch replacement won’t be released until next year. Several news outlets, including Bloomberg, have quoted unnamed sources saying that Nintendo has been telling game publishers that its next system won’t be out by the end of 2024 as planned.
Some publisher officials say they were told that Switch 2 (or whatever Nintendo calls it) won’t come out until at least March 2025, which is eight years after the first device came out.

Nintendo’s successor to the Switch was generally thought to come out in 2024, most likely in time for the busy holiday shopping season at the end of the year. However, this was never officially confirmed and the date has not even been revealed.
A lot of people are excited about Nintendo Switch 2 and its announcement, which helped Nintendo’s stock hit an all-time high. Reuters says that news of the possible start date in 2025 has caused shares to drop as much as 8.8%, which is the biggest drop in a single day since October 2021.
There are also effects on the industry as a whole. The market was hoping that Switch 2 and Grand Theft Auto 6 would give it a boost in 2024, but in December, it was revealed that Grand Theft Auto 6 would not come out until 2025.
It’s still unclear what will make the games market grow in 2024 since Switch 2 isn’t expected to come out until next year either.
