Nintendo Switch 2 release date, price, games and everything you need to know
To prepare you for the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, Metro has compiled all the important info you need about its features and games.
After years of rumours, Nintendo is finally preparing to move on from the Nintendo Switch, as it launches its next major gaming console: the Nintendo Switch 2.
The original Switch will still be supported for at least the next year, with new first party games already scheduled for 2026, but the Switch 2 will become the new priority for both Nintendo and other publishers.
With the new console's release right around the corner, we've compiled everything there is to know about the Switch 2, so you know exactly what to expect from it.
The Switch 2 is scheduled to launch on Thursday, June 5. That's an unusual time for a new console to be released, as most come out in the autumn or spring, but Nintendo has never really explained why it picked such an unusual date.
The Switch 2 is priced at £395.99. It comes with a dock for connecting the console to your TV, a pair of Joy-Con 2 controllers, two Joy-Con 2 straps, a Joy-Con 2 grip that lets you use the Joy-Con 2s like a traditional controller, an AC adapter, and an HDMI cable.
There is also a bundle that includes a digital copy of Mario Kart World priced at £429.99, which means you're only spending £34 on the game, instead of its usual asking price of £66.99.
At the time of writing, only the Switch 2 on its own is available from Nintendo's own website, with the Mario Kart bundle sold out. Other retailers have their own bundles as well, that are significantly more expensive but do come with additional games and/or accessories.
Since the Switch 2 is primarily a more powerful version of the Switch 1, it retains most of the features of its predecessor, including the ability to play games on the go in handheld mode or on your TV at home.
Tabletop mode is also back, allowing you to stand the Switch 2 on a table or desk, but the kickstand is much larger and sturdier, and can be angled in different ways.
The Switch 2 is markedly bigger than the Switch 1, boasting a 7.9-inch screen, compared to the original's 6.2-inch screen. However, it is an LCD screen and not an OLED one like the Switch OLED model.
That said, the Switch 2's improved specs means it can offer better visuals, including support for resolutions upwards of 1080p and even 4K, as well as frame rates upwards of 120 frames per second for select games (if playing in 4K, the frame rate is capped at 60 frames per second).
It also has a larger internal storage. Whereas the original Switch has 32GB of storage space, the Switch 2 offers eight times that at 256GB – allowing it to store a lot more games at once. Plus, the Switch 2 is much faster at reading and writing data, so loading and saving games should go quicker than on Switch 1.
The built-in speakers have also been improved to offer clearer audio when in handheld and tabletop mode. 3D audio is supported as well.
Size: Approximately 4.5 inches tall x 10.7 inches wide x 0.55 inches thick (with Joy-Con 2 controllers attached).
Weight: Approximately 0.88lbs without Joy-Con 2 controllers attached, approximately 1.18lbs with Joy-Con 2 controllers attached.
Screen: 7.9 inch LCD touch screen with 1920×1080 resolution, HDR10 support, and VRR up to 120 Hz (VRR only supported in handheld mode).
CPU/GPU: Custom made processor by Nvidia, with DLSS and ray-tracing support.
System memory: 256GB (can be increased with compatible microSD Express cards).
Video output: Maximum 3840×2160 (4K) resolution at 60 fps when docked. Supports 120 fps when at 1920×1080 / 2560×1440 resolutions. Maximum 1920×1080 resolution in handheld mode.
Audio output: Supports linear PCM output 5.1ch.
Stereo speakers and 4 pole stereo 3.5mm mini plug audio jack.
Two USB-C ports, on bottom and top of console. The bottom is using for charging or connecting to the dock. The top is used for charging or connecting accessories.
Battery life: Approximately 2 – 6.5 hours (dependent on the game you play).
Charging time: Approximately 3 hours (when in sleep mode).

One of the biggest new features for the Switch 2, GameChat is what it says on the tin: something that allows you to communicate with friends online while playing games on Switch 2.
GameChat is activated by pressing the 'C' button on the right-hand Joy-Con 2 controller and up to 12 people can take part in a chat session. Up to four people can also share their game screen simultaneously and the Switch 2's built-in microphone is designed to adapt to your environment, filtering out any unwanted background noise.
A separate GameShare feature also makes it possible to share certain games online or via a local wireless connection, so friends can enjoy multiplayer sessions without needing their own copy.
Although only Switch 2 consoles can share games, it is possible to receive them with a Switch 1 console, although only locally since Switch 1 doesn't support GameChat.
Nintendo is selling a separate camera accessory for £49.99, which you can use for video chats and displaying your face in certain games. You plug it into the second USB-C port on the top of the console.
While GameChat will be free for everyone to begin with, this is a limited time offer until March 31, 2026. After that, you will need to pay for a Nintendo Switch Online subscription to use GameChat.
One of the big newsfeatures of the Joy-Con 2 controllers is that they magnetically attach to the Switch 2, meaning they'll be more firmly connected but still easy to detach by pushing a release button on their back.
They also come with larger 'SL' and 'SR' buttons, which makes them more comfortable to use horizontally.
Most importantly though, the Joy-Con 2s come with mouse controls, offering new ways to play certain games, such as first person shooters like Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, and allowing for more types of games to release on Switch 2.
It will be possible to plug a regular USB mouse into the Switch 2 as well, as confirmed in a gameplay demonstration for Koei Tecmo's Nobunaga's Ambition: Awakening Complete Edition.

Select Switch 1 games will also receive free Switch 2 updates, which range from optimising the graphics and frame rates to adding GameShare support. Those games are:
These updates will be available to download from June 5.
Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games are essentially upgraded versions of existing Switch 1 games and offer significantly improved visuals and/or entirely new content. This is why these are sold as separate purchases and not offered as free upgrades.
So far, the majority of Switch 2 Editions come from Nintendo itself and if you own the original version on Switch 1, you can pay a variable fee for an upgrade pack to receive a digital copy of the Switch 2 version. A small handful, however, come from third parties, so Switch 2 Editions aren't exclusive to Nintendo.

Nintendo will be adding GameCube games to its retro library with Switch 2. These will be exclusive to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription tier and only available on Switch 2.
So far, only 10 GameCube games have been confirmed, of which three will be available at launch on June 5. Those games are: The Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker (available at launch)
(available at launch) Soulcalibur 2 (available at launch)

Fire Emblem: Path Of Radiance

To coincide with this, Nintendo is also selling a wireless GameCube controller that will launch on June 5. It's available for pre-order on Nintendo's website for £58.99, but it's exclusive to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers.
Nintendo has a handful of Switch 2 accessories available for purchase on its website, including the aforementioned USB-C camera and wireless GameCube controller.
Below is a list of all Switch 2 accessories, their prices, and links to their listings on the Nintendo storefront:
Yes, Switch 1 controllers will still work on Switch 2 through a wireless connection. In the case of the Switch 1's Joy-Cons, though, they can't be physically attached to the Switch 2 and thus can't be charged using the console. More Trending
Accessories for the Switch 1 Joy-Cons, like the Ring-Con from Ring Fit Adventure, can used on Switch 2 as well but are not compatible with the Joy-Con 2 controllers.
Here is a complete list of Switch 1 controllers and accessories compatible with Switch 2: Joy-Con controllers (must be charged separately)

Why I'm taking a week off work for the Nintendo Switch 2 launch
A reader explains exactly how they're going to spend the next seven days, and it seems to involve a lot of Switch 2 games and Summer Game Fest. It's over eight years since the launch of the original Nintendo Switch and it seems like both yesterday and half a lifetime ago. I absolutely agree with suggestions that it's the best console ever made, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase and all the many games I've bought for it. All the previews of Switch 2 have been very positive, but I don't need to read them; I'm completely happy to take a risk on getting it day one, and I've already planned the days off. I'm actually a little gutted I can't go to any of the midnight launches. I'm very glad to hear they're still going but by the time I knew about them I'd already pre-ordered from Nintendo. So I'll be stuck at home on Thursday, desperately hoping for the postie to ring the doorbell. He'll be bringing the console with the Mario Kart World bundle and I'll also be buying Welcome Tour, Split Fiction, Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition, Civilization 7, and upgrades for the two Zelda games and Super Mario Party Jamboree. (I'm not rich, I've just been saving and haven't bought a new game yet this year.) I've seen it said that the Switch 2 launch line-up is not that good, and I will agree I had expected more in the way of exclusives, both first and third party, but I think we have to remember this is June and, hardware launch or not, that's not exactly prime video game-buying time. In fact, it's the opposite. Still, I think you'll agree that little lot should keep me busy for a while, which is why I booked the whole week off to play it. Which is not quite as crazy as it sounds. The console comes out on Thursday and then on Friday it's Summer Game Fest, which starts late at night, so I'd rather not come home knackered from work to stay up to watch that. Sunday is the Xbox summer showcase – which I'm not super interested in but could have some Switch 2 news – and, well… with luck the weather will be nice so I thought, sod it, I'll just take a full week off, or at least to Wednesday. That gives me enough time to play my new console, to watch and recover from the showcases, and to still have some quality time with the missus. It'll be a week of full-on video game indulgence, and I can't wait. In an increasingly bleak world, I find the thought of doing nothing but wasting my time with video games very appealing. We all know Mario Kart World is going to be amazing but as well as that I can play through Cyberpunk 2077 and its DLC, try out the mouse controls for Civilization 7, and play co-op with my wife on Split Fiction – which I've been purposefully holding back on till now. Plus, I get to play remastered versions of the two best Zelda games and a bunch of fun new party games for Super Mario Party, that also use the GameChat camera, which I'm also buying. It's a lot at once, I agree, but I feel I'm worth it and for once I do have time to play it all. As for what I'm hoping for from the showcases. Well, mostly I'd like there to be a Nintendo Direct, which there seems a reasonable chance of but which, at least as I'm writing this, they haven't announced yet. Obviously, I'd like there to be a secret Nintendo game for Christmas, ideally a 3D Mario, but I really don't think that's very likely. I do imagine they'll have some kind of small extra though and maybe a tease of what's to come next year. More Trending I do still have my PlayStation 5, so I guess I'd be interested in anything that announced for that, especially Resident Evil 9 or Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3, but at the moment I'm all about the Switch 2. I hope it lives up to the legacy of its predecessor but at the moment I have no reason to think it won't and all the time in the world to find out!

Victoria Beckham left son Brooklyn's wife Nicola Peltz 'in tears' at wedding
New details have emerged about an allegedly tense moment involving Victoria Beckham at her son Brooklyn Beckham's wedding to Nicola Peltz. The insider comments come as rumours continue to circulate that the famous fam has been engulfed by feud since eldest child Brooklyn, 26, wed Nicola, 30, in 2022. The whispers pitched up in volume recently, when the couple were a no-show at David Beckham's 50th birthday bash, followed by Brooklyn appearing to make a dig at his parents, posting a video of himself and Nicola on Instagram with a caption vowing to always 'choose [her]'. Now, a source close to the family has told People that singer Marc Anthony, a longtime friend of the Beckham family, performed as a gift to the couple. But before starting one of his songs, he reportedly invited Brooklyn to join him on stage and then unexpectedly called for Victoria Beckham to step up as 'the most beautiful woman in the room.' The moment left some attendees puzzled, particularly since it seemed to overshadow the bride. One insider claims Nicola was deeply upset by the perceived slight, allegedly interpreting the moment as an attempt to upstage her during her own celebration. Eyewitnesses say the room went silent, and that Nicola left in tears, believing what was supposed to be a romantic moment had been co-opted. However, another guest at the wedding offered a different version of events. They told People that Brooklyn and Nicola had already enjoyed their first dance earlier in the evening, first with each other and then Nicola with her father. By the time Anthony performed, the mood had shifted to something more casual and festive, with various members of the Beckham family – including David and daughter Harper – joining in on the dance floor. Despite attempts to move past wedding-related drama, sources suggest there's been an undercurrent of strain between Nicola and Victoria, with tensions flaring again after this event. One insider claimed Brooklyn finds himself stuck in the middle, caught between loyalty to his wife and his complicated relationship with his family. Recently, a source told Metro that Brooklyn's post about always putting Nicola first left Victoria 'heartbroken.' 'Victoria is upset that things have escalated to this point. Brooklyn has made his position clear in his recent post and that has left both herself and David heartbroken,' the insider shared. More Trending 'They will always be there for Brooklyn, and as Victoria said in a recent interview, she's a brilliant mum to her children – they all mean the world to her. 'But things at the moment feel divided and Brooklyn's remarks haven't helped the situation. They are desperate for things to improve.' A source close to Brooklyn told Metro: 'It's sad that a simple statement of love and appreciation for his wife is being manipulated into something that it isn't.' The family has largely kept quiet about whispers of an ongoing feud, despite plenty of apparent drama and cryptic social media posts. Got a story?

Emmerdale favourite cuts ties with family after showdown and a legend is gutted
Ross Barton (Michael Parr) was left quietly gutted in tonight's Emmerdale, as Lewis (Bradley Riches) decided he no longer wanted anything to do with him. Yesterday, Lewis learnt the truth about his mum's death. Shortly after his arrival, he was told by Ross and Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb) that Adam Barton pushed Emma from a bridge, but he's always wondered if that was actually true. An accidental slip up from Ross allowed Lewis to work out that their aunt Moira actually killed Emma. In an attempt to stop Lewis from going to the police, Ross called Moira back to Butlers and together, they tried to explain to the new face exactly who his mum really was. Unfortunately, Lewis reacted in a way that caused even more problems for Ross and Moira. He believed that his unwell mother deserved justice, and that he should go to the police. Just as he prepared to leave though, Ross told Lewis that if he did anything, he would tell the police about the cannabis farm in his loft. Blackmailing a brother you've known for five minutes certainly isn't a wise idea but Ross' loyalty lies with Moira, he was always going to do his best to protect her. More Trending Frustrated and backed into a corner, Lewis announced to Ross tonight that he doesn't want a brother who manipulates him. He walked away and Ross suggested that he didn't have a problem with Lewis leaving. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers? Who's leaving Coronation Street?

Back at Butlers though, Ross was clearly gutted about the fallout with Lewis. When they first met, Ross wasn't fussed about his new brother, but they ended up connecting and having a laugh. Lewis also reminded Ross of his late brother Finn, who was shot by their mum. If Lewis returns, can Ross rebuild their connection?
