Rumors about the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 have been swirling around for the past couple of years, which is quite understandable considering the fact that the company’s unique original hybrid console debuted way back in 2018. Even upon its debut, Switch was supposed to be a complete generation behind PlayStation 5 and Xbox, so gamers have been waiting for hardware overhaul.
In the last couple of months, we’ve seen a number of Switch 2 leaks cropping up online. So far, the upcoming handheld looks to be promising, but its storage options have concerned many gamers. However, unlike PlayStation 5, less storage won’t be an issue for Switch 2 due to Nintendo’s clever strategy.
Nintendo Switch 2’s Low Storage is Perfect For the Handheld
Switch 2’s design and specs wererecently leaked on GamingLeaksandRumorson Reddit. According to the reports, the upcoming handheld will feature 12 GB of RAM at 75000 MT/s speeds. What’s interesting is that the console’s storage will be limited to 256 GB.

Usually, this would be a concern for consoles like PlayStation 5 and Xbox. In recent years, we’ve seen games getting bigger and bigger for a number of reasons, which proves to be troublesome for gamers who are using the base version of the consoles.
Switch 2 rumored to have 256 GB of internal storageFor Nintendo games, that’s easily 10-15 you could have on there at one timeBig if true
However, it’s an entirely different case for the upcoming Switch console. The low storage works perfectly due to the fact thatNintendogames aren’t that demanding. As proven with the original Switch, the company does an incredible job at optimizing its first-party titles since they are pretty small when it comes to file sizes.
256 GB of storage on a base PlayStation 5 would limit you to two or three AAA games. However, for that much storage on Switch 2, you could probably download 10-15 games that will completely blow you away. You won’t have to worry about running out of space with this one.
When is The Next Switch Handheld Coming Out?
Now that Switch’s successor is all but confirmed, gamers are left wondering when the console might drop, and it looks like it is going to be a long while before the console hits the shelves.

Accordingto Eurogamer, several Nintendo developers have revealed that the Switch successor can’t be expected to debut this financial year. This clears some of the recent rumors that suggest that the console will be announced in the summer before getting shipped closer to the holiday season.
Based on these comments, we can expect that the earliest the Switch successor could debut is in April 2025, but whether or not that’s the case remains to be seen.
If the company follows the trajectory it set for the previous console’s announcement, there’s a good chance that the Switch 2 could be revealed in late 2024 before confirming a mid-2025 release date for next year. The current version of the console was announced back in October 2016 before releasing in March 2017.
