Nintendo officially unveiled the Switch 2 earlier this year with a hardware-focused teaser trailer. Details such as price, launch titles and release date have yet to be announced but more information is expected next month when Nintendo hosts a dedicated Switch 2 Direct presentation on April 2.

Following that, fans will be able to try out the console in a series of global, hands-on test events between April 4 and May 11.

However internet sleuths believe they’ve worked out when the Switch 2 will be released. Taking to X, ThunderStashYT shared his theory that the Switch 2 will be launching on May 15. “This isn’t just speculation. No ‘insider sources,’ no leaks; just logic, patterns, and solid research from the community,” he explained.

According to the viral post, a May 15 release is likely because it’s a few days after the first wave of hands-on test events will have wrapped up, with the second wave starting May 31. “This gap strongly suggests Nintendo is using this time to launch the Switch 2, as there’s no reason to halt momentum unless it’s for a major event,” wrote ThunderStashYT.
