Bloomberg: Upgraded / Pro Switch announcement imminent, launching September / October 2021

Bloomberg is reporting news of an upgraded / Pro Nintendo Switch console which is about to be unveiled.

The publication states, thanks to sources familiar with the matter, Nintendo will be assembling the new model as early as July and the improved console is set to hit shelves between September and October of this year.

Interestingly, it’s also mentioned that this Nintendo Switch Pro is set to supersede the current original model at some point and we can expect the Switch we know and love to be eventually phased out.

Price increase

In terms of pricing, Bloomberg is reporting that the upgraded / Pro Nintendo Switch will likely come with a higher price tag thanks to the global semi-conductor shortage and it will be sold alongside the already available Nintendo Switch Lite.

It’s been previously discussed that the new model will house a new 7 inch OLED screen and have 4k capabilities.

With E3 just around the corner, it’s not completely out of the realms of possibility that we would hear news of this new and improved Nintendo Switch. Perhaps it will even be shown there first as Nintendo has always liked the E3 stage.

But, as it stands, it’s all a rumor until we hear from Nintendo.
