Nintendo confirmed the existence of a successor to the Nintendo Switch a while ago, but the company has otherwise been silent for the most part. Now, it’s revealed a key detail about the upcoming console.

Nintendo announced on X and in a corporate briefing that the Nintendo Switch 2 will indeed be backwards compatible with Switch games. That means you don’t have to give up your current library of Switch games if you buy the Switch 2.
