Nintendo has confirmed that its highly anticipated new Switch 2 console will be released on June 5th
The new console, which was first confirmed to be in development in January, has a larger and higher quality screen, as well as new magnetic detachable controls.
Nintendo said the new console will also come with a range of new social features, centred around a new tool called GameChat, which allows players to voice or video chat with friends while playing.
The Japanese gaming giant also confirmed the new console will support the ability for players to share a game and play together with up to three friends, even if those friends do not own the game.
