Whose technology will be inside the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2? It is said to feature Nvidia design, Samsung silicon, with the Nintendo brand and games. Samsung has reportedly secured a key contract to manufacture the custom processors for the console—a strategic shift from Nintendo’s prior reliance on TSMC. The Nvidia-designed Arm-based Tegra T239 SoC may align better with Samsung’s production capabilities.
Those are the technical pieces. As for the console itself, anticipated demand is high, with projections of up to 20 million units by March 2026. Despite earlier preorder delays due to US tariffs, the official launch remains set for June 5, 2025, with strong initial sales expected.
How much will it cost you? Depends on where in the world you live.
