Nintendo Switch 2 vs Switch 1 — Is It Worth Upgrading?

If you already own a Nintendo Switch OLED or original Switch, here's what you're getting by upgrading:

What's New on Switch 2

8-inch LCD screen — larger than Switch OLED's 7-inch
4K output on TV — Switch 1 maxed at 1080p docked
Magnetic Joy-Cons — click in and out instead of sliding
Mouse mode — Joy-Cons work as mice on flat surfaces (for compatible games)
GameChat — built-in voice chat via the console's own app
Backwards compatible — most Switch 1 games work on Switch 2
Faster processor — games load significantly quicker, better frame rates

Should You Upgrade?

If you have a Nintendo Switch V1 (2017 model): Yes, upgrade. The performance jump is massive.

If you have a Switch OLED: The screen is actually slightly better on OLED (AMOLED vs LCD). Upgrade if 4K TV output and the new Joy-Con system matter to you.

If you don't own any Switch: Buy Switch 2. Don't buy the old model in 2026.
