In the previous report, news about Switch Pro has been constant, but then Nintendo released the Switch OLED, which has undergone certain upgrades in the original shape, changed the screen feature, and added some small functions, but without any changes to its physical hardware.
Regarding the Switch 4K rumors, last month, a Bloomberg report showed out that many game manufacturers have already taken 4K-enabled Switch development kits, but Nintendo rejected this. Moreover, that Switch Pro will not be launched, and it will be replaced by the next-generation “Switch 4K” using DLSS technology. According to insiders, Switch Pro will not be released because Nintendo has already begun to develop a new game console at this stage.

Nate Drake said: “Since the Bloomberg article came out, I have contacted many of my informants to try to make the news reasonable. I don’t think it can be called “Switch Pro”. I learned during the conversation. , This is completely brand new Switch hardware, but I don’t know how it will be positioned at this stage. I don’t know if it will be called Switch 2 or an enhanced version.
But in the future, I will simply call it Switch 4K, Because it does have 4K capabilities, and it will be implemented through DLSS, the news of this matter is accurate, and I have a lot of evidence to confirm this information.”
Furthermore, Switch 4K appears to rely on NVIDIA’s DLSS technology to provide higher resolution for games, which may require a considerable chip performance upgrade. DLSS, which means deep learning super sampling, is a brand new RTX technology ability to use the power of deep learning and AI to train the GPU to render clear game images.
Besides, as for the console backward adaptability may be difficult, but Nate Drake and his informants believe that Nintendo will find a way to solve this problem. It is expected that new hardware will have exclusive games, especially games from third parties because third parties will pay more attention to new hardware than old products.
As for the launch time of the new hardware, Nate Drake is expected to be released sometime between the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2022 and the end of the first quarter of 2023.
