An OLED version of the Switch 2 could start production in 2027
Reports suggest Nintendo is considering an OLED version of the Switch 2, with production potentially starting in 2027. The move aims to address performance issues like ghosting and input lag found in the current LCD model.
Why it matters
This indicates Nintendo's long-term hardware strategy and their ongoing efforts to balance production costs with display quality for their next-generation console.
Nintendo may be exploring an OLED version of the Switch 2, according to a new report from Eurogamer, which cited South Korean outlet ZDNET Korea as claiming serious internal discussions are underway at the company. (Disclosure: ZDNet and Mashable are both owned by the same parent company, Ziff Davis.)While many industry watchers had long assumed Nintendo would eventually give the Switch 2 an OLED screen, following the same path as the original Switch, Eurogamer noted this timing came earlier than expected. Per the report, ZDNET Korea indicated that production would not begin before the end of 2027 at the earliest, meaning a release could land around 2028.Our big Guessing Game is back!
