Announcement of the release date and price of the Nintendo Switch 2.
Nintendo finally provided us with the information we were waiting for.
After years of rumors and leaks, the release date and price of the Nintendo Switch 2 have been officially confirmed. During a recent Nintendo Direct broadcast, the company revealed that its new console will be available starting June 5, 2025. The launch price of the Nintendo Switch 2 will be $449.99, which represents a $150 increase compared to the launch price of its predecessor, which was $299.99. However, it is $50 cheaper than the initial prices of the PS5 and Xbox Series X, which were set at $499.99.
The release date aligns with what had been anticipated according to previous reports and leaks. While June is not a typical month for console releases by other companies, it makes sense for Nintendo. Early buyers will be able to access the initial supply and enjoy a launch catalog that includes Mario Kart World, while Nintendo prepares to ramp up its inventory and offer more titles during the holiday season and beyond.
Finally, the period of speculation fueled by anonymous leaks on forums can be considered over.
