Revealed: Size Measurements for the Upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Console

Key Findings on the Upcoming Switch 2

The Switch 2 is anticipated to measure approximately 270 x 116 x 14mm.
When Joy-Cons are detached, the console width stands at about 200mm, marking an increase of 24mm over the Switch OLED Model.
Speculations suggest an 8-inch display for the Switch 2.

Leakages about the Switch 2‘s dimensions have emerged, stemming from a consumer electronics accessory manufacturer. This intel hints that Nintendo’s forthcoming console will boast a significantly larger profile compared to its predecessor, the original Switch.

While Nintendo has not made an official announcement, industry insiders believe that mass production of the Switch 2 began in late 2024. Evidence supporting this assertion can be found in the recent spike in online listings for unofficial accessories tailored to the console, seemingly conforming to its rumored specifications. Such patterns are commonplace in the consumer electronics realm, especially with mobile devices, where accessory designs frequently precede official device unveilings by weeks or months.

Dbrand, a leading accessory maker, has recently provided a glimpse of its Switch 2 case design. In a detailed statement to The Verge, CEO Adam Ijaz emphasized that their product’s design was not speculative but based on verified measurements obtained through a “3D scan of the real hardware.”The confirmed dimensions, with Joy-Cons included, are set at 270 x 116 x 14mm.

Switch 2’s Size: A Significant Increase Over Previous Models

According to Dbrand, even without the detachable Joy-Cons, the Switch 2 will measure 200mm in width, resulting in a 24mm increase compared to the Switch OLED Model. Dbrand isn’t alone in making such claims; earlier in December 2024, store listings for accessories such as carrying cases and tempered glass protectors hinted at a larger physical size for the upcoming console.

Comparative Dimensions of Nintendo Switch Models

Model	Width (w/o Joy-Cons)	Width (w/ Joy-Cons)	Height	Depth	Screen Size
Switch	173 mm	238 mm	102 mm	14 mm	6.2″
Switch Lite	N/A	208 mm	91 mm	14 mm	5.5″
Switch OLED	176 mm	242 mm	102 mm	13.9 mm	7″
Switch 2 (Rumored)	200 mm	270 mm	116 mm	14 mm	8″

If the rumors prove to be correct regarding the Switch 2’s size surpassing that of the Switch OLED Model, we can expect a larger screen as well. Analysts predict a potential 8-inch display, which is likely to retain the 16:9 aspect ratio featured across Nintendo’s current console offerings. Furthermore, it has been suggested that the new console’s dock may also be larger than its predecessor’s, possibly to enhance stability considering the increased size of the device.

Nintendo has stated that the official announcement for the Switch successor is anticipated within their current fiscal year, concluding on March 31, 2025. However, the launch of the new console is unlikely before the second quarter of 2025.
