While the announcement of the Switch 2 is still a way off, Furukawa previously said the rumored console would not be released until the next fiscal year, which begins April 1, 2025. This timeline suggests careful planning to ensure optimal market conditions and production capabilities.

Nintendo hasn’t announced its Switch successor yet, but we do know one thing for sure: it will be able to play current Switch games and have carryover for your Nintendo Switch Online services and account. The news was announced during Nintendo’s midyear policy briefing, with further information promised “at a later date.”

Players will be able to carry over game purchases, memberships and other related services.
