After the release of Nintendo Switch OLED last week disappointed many fans, there are now rumors that the so-called Switch Pro, which is expected to have 4K gaming capabilities, will still be released in 2022.
Venture Beat reporter Jeff Grubb recently shared Twitter The rumored Nintendo Switch Pro may be released as early as next year. The video game reporter and industry insider also claimed that the Switch OLED model is not a Switch Pro, and it may not be the last Switch console, because the Japanese gaming giant is known as the king of revisions.
Grubb said: “I still personally only heard of Switch Pro in 2022. If this still happens, I will continue to speculate that it will have a 4K output and a more efficient DLSS chip.” He added: “Some people think Is this the last 3DS model Switch released by the company?”

Matthew Bailey, senior marketing and gaming analyst at Omdia, said: “Nintendo has never had a compelling business case to launch the’professional’ devices that most people expect.” He added: “Nintendo’s release is completely backwards to existing Switch hardware Compatible minor upgrades make sense.”
Bailey said: “The new OLED model meets this requirement and meets Omdia’s expectations.” Senior analysts believe that “upgrades designed to improve performance and graphics fidelity are more likely to become part of Nintendo’s next-generation consoles. “Kantan Games CEO Serkan Toto shared: “From the way Nintendo management communicates, they are determined to extend the life cycle of the Switch as much as possible.”
He believes that “before Nintendo releases a new console, we will see a more powerful upgrade than this.” Unlike Grubb, Toto and Bailey both believe that the new Switch console will take several years. Bailey predicts, “Given the OLED Switch release date is the fourth quarter of 2021, it is unlikely that any next-generation console or major upgrade to the Switch will appear before 2023.”
At the same time, Toto believes that the new Switch console will be completely independent of the hybrid console, and there may be “a few years” before its release.
