According to reports from AP News, The Verge, Polygon, and CNET, the Nintendo Switch 2 is expected to feature enhanced hardware, including a more powerful processor and improved graphics capabilities, positioning it to compete with current-generation consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
