Developers Are Already Working on Nintendo Switch 2 Games

Moreover, an email from former Activision Blizzard boss Bobby Kotick, disclosed during court proceedings last year, hinted at Nintendo sharing details of the Switch 2 with major publishers.

Finally, Ubisoft hinted that Nintendo had asked them to wait for the Switch 2 before releasing Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope, a decision that paid off for the French publisher after nearly two years.

The Switch, since its launch in March 2017, has enjoyed phenomenal success, becoming the third best-selling console of all time. However, its fairly dated now, and the need for a more powerful and updated successor has become evident. Many developers are expressing their eagerness to work on the new platform. The GDC survey further highlighted that 32% of developers are keenly interested in creating games for the Switch 2, surpassing interest in the Xbox Series S/X.

There's speculation the Switch 2 won't undergo a drastic redesign, but will instead focus on offering enhanced hardware capabilities. Predictions suggest a price tag around $400 for the new console, with game prices potentially aligning with the $70 standard of other contemporary gaming platforms. The prospect of improved hardware and new experiences has fans on the edge of their seats while awaiting official confirmation and details from Nintendo.
