Nintendo Switch 2 fans are buzzing, but not about the console itself—the excitement is all about the rumored size of its game cases! A French retailer, Fnac, seemingly leaked the dimensions of a Take-Two Interactive game for the upcoming console, as spotted by journalist Felipe Lima (via Nintendo Life).
These leaked dimensions suggest Nintendo Switch 2 game boxes will be slightly larger than those of the original Switch. A helpful Reddit post by HertzBurst visually compares the two, showcasing the purported size difference: 5.1 inches (13 cm) by 7.7 inches (19.5 cm).
While larger than the current Switch cases, the leaked dimensions still place them significantly smaller than those used for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 games. Although unofficial, it's plausible retailers would receive these size specifications early for logistical purposes like preparing store displays.
A release date for the Nintendo Switch 2 remains unconfirmed by Nintendo, but speculation points to a launch between June and September. This is fueled by upcoming hands-on events concluding in June and a statement from Nacon (publisher of Greedfall 2) suggesting a pre-September release.
The Nintendo Switch 2 was initially unveiled in January with a short trailer highlighting backwards compatibility and a second USB-C port. Many details remain shrouded in mystery, including its game lineup and the function of a new Joy-Con button (though the "Joy-Con mouse" theory has gained some traction).
