Over recent months, there have been plenty of rumours regarding Nintendo’s next-gen console, the Nintendo Switch 2. One of the main points of speculation has been whether the console will support backward compatibility with the Nintendo Switch’s library.
A report has emerged that backward compatibility will indeed be supported. This information comes from content creator PH Brazil, who is known for his consistent track record with Nintendo-related leaks.
PH Brazil claimed that the Switch 2 will feature both digital and physical backward compatibility with its predecessor. This means that games from the original Nintendo Switch can be played on the new console.
In addition to backward compatibility, the Switch 2 will also allow developers to apply technical enhancements to existing games in the Switch’s library when being played on the next-gen console.
Prominent insider NateTheHate has at least partially corroborated some of the details here, saying on ResetEra that testing for the Switch 2’s backward compatibility features is underway, and that the feature is available to partner developers.
The Nintendo Switch’s successor is expected to launch sometime this year (potentially in the second half), and will allegedly be announced next month
