Nintendo Switch 2 enthusiasts are buzzing with excitement, but their focus has recently shifted from the console itself to a seemingly mundane yet intriguing detail: the size of its physical game cases. This shift in conversation was sparked by a potential leak from a French retailer, Fnac, which listed dimensions for a Take-Two Interactive game intended for the Nintendo Switch 2. According to the listing, the new game cases will be slightly larger than those for the original Nintendo Switch.
The dimensions provided suggest that Nintendo Switch 2 game boxes will measure 5.1 inches by 7.7 inches (13 cm by 19.5 cm). This revelation was visually illustrated in a Reddit post by user HertzBurst, who compared the sizes of the two game boxes side by side. While still smaller than the cases used for Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 games, these new boxes would be noticeably larger than the current Switch game cases.

Although these dimensions are not officially confirmed, it's plausible that retailers would need such information early to prepare their stock displays. As the Nintendo Switch 2's release draws closer, with speculated launch dates between June and September, anticipation continues to build. This speculation is fueled by hands-on events planned until June and comments from Greedfall 2 publisher Nacon, suggesting a release before September.
The Nintendo Switch 2 was officially unveiled in January with a teaser trailer that highlighted backward compatibility and the addition of a second USB-C port. However, many details remain under wraps, including information about other games and the function of a mysterious new button on the Joy-Con. While theories, such as the Joy-Con mouse concept, have been circulating, fans eagerly await more concrete information.
