This is probably what the new Switch 2 looks like: a 3D model is the talk of CES 2025.
The rumor mill is buzzing: What does the Switch 2 look like now? Nintendo has now responded to the recently emerged images and the 3D model of the Switch 2 at CES 2025. However, there was no confirmation of the console’s appearance, but also no contradiction, but a not official
What does this mean?
A company spokesperson told the Japanese news agency Sankei that the materials distributed at the 2025 CES electronics show in the US are not official
The leaks come from the manufacturer Genki, which showed a 3D-printed model of the supposed Switch 2 at CES. You can see the model in a video on Numerama’s X-account.

In addition, Genki is showing an animated representation of the alleged Switch 2 and the controllers on their website Without going into the leaks further, Nintendo emphasizes that the official announcement of the Switch successor will take place in the current fiscal year.
When will there be certainty?
The current fiscal year ends on March 31, 2025. So you’ll find out what the console will look like before April. Genki’s 3D model condenses the rumors about the appearance of the Switch 2. The model shown matches the images already leaked in September 2024 very well.

But the most important thing is missing: Nintendo’s confirmation. And that will probably not happen before the official announcement, but the answer does not officially leave room for speculation. So it could mean something like that, the console will look like this, but Nintendo wants to be the first to reveal the design, or rather to confirm it.
