Nintendo Switch 2 accessory listings appear, console could launch around June 2025
Regarding its launch, the source claims that six development studios that currently have games in the pipeline for the next console revealed the alleged launch window to them. As such, fans could expect the Switch 2 to arrive between June and July 2025, if these reports are true.
Previously, Nintendo stated it would announce the console before the current fiscal year ends, which is March 31, 2025. Therefore, a June or July release window does not seem farfetched. Furthermore, previous rumors have suggested a $400 price tag, so the reported €400-500 also seems feasible.

The former boasts a Nintendo Switch 2 logo and appears to have length, width, and thickness of 11.6 inches, 5.9 inches, and 1.9 inches, respectively.
