The Nvidia source code leak may hold information about a new model or successor for the Nintendo Switch, possibly the Nintendo Switch Pro, and Nintendo Switch 2 has begun trending on Twitter since the announcement. There were rumors circulating in 2021 about a Nintendo Switch Pro model with 4K capabilities, but these have yet to be confirmed.
The PS5 and the Xbox Series X/S launched at the end of 2020, which prompted speculation that Nintendo would have an upgraded system to compete with them. After months of rumors, Nintendo announced the Nintendo Switch OLED Model in July 2021, with an October release date. The OLED Switch has a much more impressive screen for handheld mode than the base Switch, but it wasn't the hardware upgrade that fans were expecting. There were some rumormongers who insisted that the Switch Pro was still on the way and this was a stop-gap release. The chip shortages and labor issues caused by the pandemic could very well have delayed any new system, as Microsoft and Sony are still struggling to meet the demand for their current systems.
