Nintendo Switch 2 Launching In June With Three-Phase Rollout For Games - Report

The Nintendo Switch 2 is reportedly launching in June, with a three-phase plan for rolling out both first- and third-party games throughout the rest of the year.

According to a report from Insider Gaming, various sources have claimed that Nintendo has a three-part plan for rolling out the Nintendo Switch 2 launch this year. Phase 1 starts with the launch of the Switch 2 in June, which will be supported by a number of first-party Nintendo games, like the next Mario Kart game, which was shown during the reveal trailer. June is also when more developers will get Switch 2 dev kits. Analyst Daniel Ahmad clarified on X that many developers already have Switch 2 dev kits, with Nintendo just expanding the number in June.

The second phase is set for October to November, which will see more third-party games launch on the console. The last phase is the holiday period, although no other details were given outside of more games being released. The report also mentioned that some content creators and media will be seeing the new console and some upcoming games next week, the same week that the Switch 2 Nintendo Direct takes place.
