The next Nintendo console will be able to play existing Switch games, but there are still some things we don't know.

The Nintendo Switch 2 has officially announced backwards compatibility, and this will be an important fix for a major issue of its predecessor.

Nintendo hasn’t announced its Switch successor yet, but we do know one thing for sure: it will be able to play current Switch games and have carryover for your Nintendo Switch Online services and account. The news was announced during Nintendo’s midyear policy briefing, with further information promised “at a later date.”
