Leaked hardware specifications of the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 have been circulating for a while, but we now have official confirmation of the new console's specs. Digital Foundry has claims it has officially confirmed that the Switch 2 will feature a custom Nvidia SoC with an Ampere-based GPU, 12GB of memory, and 256GB of storage.
