The Nintendo Switch 2 has been the subject of rumor for months, but recently, there have been some very big leaks. If these specs turn out to be true, then Nintendo is going to release a console that will revolutionize gaming all over. Here’s everything that is known so much about the highly anticipated device.
Key Features
- DLSS 2.0 Technology Enabled: A subsequent generation Nvidia chipset featuring the latest DLSS 2.0 technology for higher resolution and frame rates.
- 4K Output Supported: Unlike the original model, Switch 2 will support 4K output when in the docking station, providing more detailed and sharp-quality game content on television screens.
- Mini-LED Display 7-inch: Upgraded handheld gaming with a 7-inch mini‐LED screen, featuring vibrant colors and deep contrasts.
- Improved Battery Life: The new Switch might support up to 12 hours of battery life with the same size battery if it uses a more recent and more efficient chipset — whereas the current model supports up to 9 hours.
Backward Compatibility
One of the most interesting rumors is that Switch 2 will be backwards compatible with the current console from Nintendo. That means no problems; you will be able to play your library on a new device.
Speed Boost
The leaks also point to faster load times because of the SSD that the Switch 2 is speculated to have. So long, super annoying long wait times upon game startup!
