The next generation of Nintendo gaming is almost here. With the Switch 2 launch approaching, here’s everything you need to know to make the most of day one.
Transfer Your Data
Make sure your current Switch is updated to the latest firmware before launch day. Nintendo has confirmed a streamlined data transfer process, but having everything up to date will make the transition smoother. Back up your save data to Nintendo Switch Online cloud saves as an extra precaution.
Your Library Carries Over
One of the best things about the Switch 2 is full backwards compatibility. Your physical Switch game cards and digital purchases will work on the new hardware, often with performance improvements. That library you’ve built over the past eight years? It’s coming with you.
What About Your Old Switch?
Don’t trade it in just yet! The original Switch and Switch Lite are still great dedicated handheld devices, especially for kids or as a travel console. Many families find it useful to keep the old system around.
