If you’ve been hoping to see the next Nintendo Switch release in early 2025, you might be disappointed. According to new claims, the Nintendo Switch 2 won’t be launching this fiscal year 2025.
On the latest episode of the GI Microcast, GameIndustry.biz’s head of games Christopher Dring gave an update on what he’s been told about the next Nintendo console.

“No developer I’ve spoken to expects it to launch in this financial year, in fact they’ve been told not to expect it in this financial year,” Dring said. “A bunch of people I spoke to hope it’s out in April/May time still early next year not late…”
Despite no launch during the fiscal year, an official reveal of the console is still expected during that time frame.
For clarification, Nintendo’s fiscal year runs from April 1 – March 31. Currently, the company is in Q2 of fiscal year 2025 after reporting its Q1 earnings earlier this month.
Nintendo has declined to comment on the latest rumors.
