Switch 2 Game Case Size Revealed by Tech Experts

Speculation about the Nintendo Switch 2 has shifted from the console itself to the size of its game cases, following a potential leak from a French retailer.

Nintendo Life reported that journalist Felipe Lima discovered a listing for a Take-Two Interactive game on Fnac, a French retailer, revealing the purported dimensions. If accurate, these dimensions indicate Nintendo Switch 2 game boxes will be slightly larger than those of the original Switch.

A Reddit user, HertzBurst, created a visual comparison showcasing the size difference between the two. The leaked dimensions are approximately 5.1 inches (13 centimeters) by 7.7 inches (19.5 centimeters).

While larger than the current Switch cases, they remain significantly smaller than those used for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 games. Although unconfirmed, it's plausible that retailers would receive these dimensions early to prepare for stocking and display.

A release date for the Nintendo Switch 2 remains unannounced, but speculation points to a launch between June and September. This is partly fueled by hands-on events scheduled until June and a statement from Nacon, the publisher of Greedfall 2, suggesting a pre-September release.

The Nintendo Switch 2 was initially revealed in January with a short trailer highlighting backward compatibility and a second USB-C port. Many details, including the function of a new Joy-Con button, remain undisclosed, although various theories are circulating.
