Nintendo Switch 2 to have three-phase launch plan from June: report

Nintendo has reportedly set a three-phase launch plan for its hotly anticipated gaming console, Switch 2.

According to a report by Insider Gaming, the company is planning to launch its sequel gaming console in June, around two months following its Direct.

Nintendo is reportedly looking to implement a three-phase plan for its Switch 2 software, according to which, first-party games will get top priority.

After the release of first-party titles at initial launch in June, the second phase will commence in October/November.

Nintendo will allow the release of titles from third-party publishers while the third and final phase will cover the Christmas period, which would allow both Nintendo and third-party publishers to release some major titles.

It is worth noting here that Nintendo revealed its next-generation gaming console in a brief trailer on January 16. While Switch 2 comes in a similar design to the original console, it has a larger display and magnetic Joy-Cons among other new features.
