Upgrading CPU and graphics processing units (GPUs) boosts speed, delivers sharper visuals, and speeds up load times for smoother gaming.

Connect your new Nintendo Switch 2 to a TV using the Dock and enjoy gameplay in stunning 4K resolution at up to 120 frames per second when playing compatible games and TVs that support these features.
Refreshing its device, Nintendo simultaneously introduces the GameChat online service, enabling players to converse across vast distances by simply pressing the new C button.
