Nintendo Switch 2 Fans Think They've Figured Out the New Physical Game Case Size

By GraceMar 21,2025

Nintendo Switch 2 fans are buzzing, but not about the console itself—the excitement centers on the rumored size of its game cases. A French retailer, Fnac, seemingly leaked the dimensions of a Take-Two Interactive game for the upcoming console, sparking a flurry of online discussion, as reported by Nintendo Life. Journalist Felipe Lima first spotted the listing, revealing dimensions that suggest Switch 2 game boxes will be slightly larger than those of the original Switch.

A Reddit post by HertzBurst visually compares the two box sizes, further fueling the speculation. The leaked dimensions are approximately 5.1 inches (13 cm) by 7.7 inches (19.5 cm). While larger than the current Switch cases, they remain significantly smaller than those used for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 games. Although unofficial, it's plausible that retailers would receive these dimensions early to prepare for stocking and display.

With hands-on events scheduled until June, and Nacon (publisher of Greedfall 2) suggesting a release before September, a June-September launch window for the Nintendo Switch 2 seems increasingly likely, despite Nintendo's silence on a specific release date.

The Nintendo Switch 2 was initially unveiled in January with a short trailer showcasing backward compatibility and a second USB-C port. Many details remain shrouded in mystery, including the game lineup and the function of a new button on the Joy-Con controllers (though the "Joy-Con mouse" theory has gained some traction).
