Nintendo Switch 2 Set for Early 2025 Launch with NVIDIA's Custom SoC

Despite intense competition, NVIDIA secures the contract for the next-gen console, aiming for a balance between performance and affordability.

Nintendo Switch 2's performance may not match Xbox Series S, with its T239 chip lagging in raw power but could see improvements with ray tracing and DLSS support.
AMD aggressively bid for the Nintendo Switch 2 contract but ultimately lost to NVIDIA, who will provide the custom SoC.
The Nintendo Switch 2, featuring NVIDIA's T239 chip, is rumored to launch in early 2025, with pricing expected between $399 and $499.
Leaks suggest the Nintendo Switch 2 has been complete since late 2022, with Nintendo delaying its launch to clear existing Switch stock and ensure a robust software lineup.
The console aims to balance power with efficiency and affordability, potentially outperforming the Steam Deck but focusing less on matching high-end console power.
