Is the Switch 3 coming out?

While there's no official announcement, the consensus among fans and analysts is that a "Switch 3" isn't likely in the traditional sense, as Nintendo is focusing on the recently released Nintendo Switch 2 (which launched in June 2025) as the next major step, potentially leading to more advanced iterations or a complete redesign rather than a numbered sequel right away, though rumors persist about future hardware incorporating advanced features.

Is it worth buying a switch in 2025?

Yes, the Nintendo Switch (especially the OLED model) is still worth buying in 2025 for its massive game library, affordability (especially used), and portability, but the newer Switch 2 is better if you prioritize performance, graphics, and the latest exclusives, though it's pricier and Switch 1 games are still relevant.
