Speculation about the Nintendo Switch 2 has shifted from the console itself to the size of its game cases, following a potential leak from a French retailer.
Nintendo Life reported that journalist Felipe Lima discovered a listing for a Take-Two Interactive game for the Switch 2 on Fnac, a French retailer. The listing included dimensions suggesting the Switch 2 game cases will be slightly larger than those of the original Switch.
A Reddit user, HertzBurst, created a visual comparison showing the purported size difference. The leaked dimensions are reportedly 5.1 inches (13 centimeters) by 7.7 inches (19.5 centimeters).

While larger than current Switch cases, these dimensions are still significantly smaller than those used for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 games. Although unconfirmed, it's plausible retailers would receive case dimensions early to prepare for stock and display.
A release window for the Switch 2 remains unannounced by Nintendo, but speculation points to a launch between June and September. This is based on hands-on events scheduled until June and a statement from Nacon, the publisher of Greedfall 2, suggesting a pre-September release.
The Nintendo Switch 2 was initially unveiled in January with a short trailer highlighting backward compatibility and a second USB-C port. Many details, including the purpose of a new Joy-Con button, remain undisclosed, although theories abound.
