Recent speculation surrounding the Nintendo Switch 2 has shifted from the console itself to the size of its game cases. A French retailer, Fnac, seemingly leaked the dimensions of a Take-Two Interactive game destined for the new console, sparking discussion amongst fans.
According to Nintendo Life, journalist Felipe Lima discovered the listing, indicating that Switch 2 game boxes will be slightly larger than those of the original Switch. A Reddit user, HertzBurst, created a visual comparison showcasing the difference in size. The leaked dimensions are reportedly 5.1 inches (13 cm) by 7.7 inches (19.5 cm).

While larger than the current Switch cases, the proposed dimensions are still considerably smaller than those used for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 games. Although unconfirmed, it's plausible that retailers would receive these measurements ahead of launch to prepare for stocking and display.
The Nintendo Switch 2's release remains unannounced by Nintendo, but speculation points to a launch between June and September. This timeframe is supported by planned hands-on events extending into June and a statement from Nacon (publisher of Greedfall 2) suggesting a pre-September release.
The Nintendo Switch 2 was initially revealed in January with a short trailer highlighting backward compatibility and a second USB-C port. Many details, including the function of a new Joy-Con button, remain undisclosed, although theories, such as a potential mouse function for the Joy-Con, have emerged.
