Nintendo Switch 2 will launch in the second half of the year 2024, and it is built using a large number of Samsung Electronics’ components, as per the latest report.
According to Korean website Maekyung, the Nintendo’s upcoming console, dubbed Switch 2, is scheduled to be released as early as the second half of 2024. It is claimed that much of the contract for initial production has already been negotiated within the parts industry.
Additionally, it is expected that a large number of Samsung Electronics’ components will be a part of the Nintendo Switch 2 hardware. It is also expected that Samsung’s foundry will carry out production of the console’s SoC chip, which is likely to be based on the NVIDIA Tegra T239. The latter is manufactured using Samsung Electronics’ 7LPH process.
The Korean company also manufactures high-value added memory. It is, therefore, expected that Samsung Electronics’ 5th generation V-NAND will be used for the Switch 2’s game cartridges and internal memory. It is also known that Samsung Electronics began partnering with Nintendo in 2021 for the Nintendo Switch OLED model. Therefore, the manufacturer is also expected to provide the display featured in the Switch 2.
In related new, it was previously claimed by the Twitter/X insider known as Midori that Persona 6 is set for a multiplaform release, as it will launch on Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 alongside the PlayStation and PC versions. They revealed this information in response to a recent episode of DirectXbox on the Spawncast YouTube channel, in which guest Nate the Hate mentioned hearing about Persona 6 coming to Xbox platforms. Nate had mentioned that Microsoft landing Persona 6 as a day one release on Xbox Game Pass alongside its launch would be significant deal. However, he noted that achieving this would require considerable effort from Microsoft, considering Persona 6’s status as the next mainline installment in the series.
