Nintendo Switch 2 launches in the U.S. on June 5, 2025. It’s sleeker, smarter, and packed with powerful upgrades.
You’ve got two options at launch, the Standard Edition, priced at $449.99, and the Mario Kart World Bundle at $499.99, which includes the latest Mario Kart experience pre-installed.
It features a stunning 7.9-inch 1080p LCD screen with HDR10 and a 120Hz Variable Refresh Rate, delivering smooth and vivid visuals.
Powering the console is a custom Nvidia Ampere chip, offering faster load times and major graphical enhancements.
The Joy-Con 2 controllers have been redesigned to attach magnetically and can function like a mouse when placed on a flat surface. There’s also a new "C" button for added in-game control.
The Switch 2 includes 256GB of UFS storage and supports expansion up to 2TB via microSD Express cards.
Nintendo introduces GameChat, a built-in system for voice chat, screen sharing, and video calls with an optional USB-C camera.
At launch, you can expect big titles like Mario Kart World, enhanced versions of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, and even Cyberpunk 2077.
Nintendo is hosting a Launch Night event at its San Francisco store on June 4, plus hands-on demos in select U.S. cities.
