Nintendo Switch Pro release date
As the Nintendo Switch Pro is rumoured to be a slight upgrade and not a completely new version of the Nintendo Switch, the model could be with us sooner rather than later.
A few months ago the Nintendo Switch Pro seemed nothing more than a rumour but more industry experts have since been supporting the concept.
A fair few gaming analysts have predicted a 2021 release for the Nintendo Switch Pro.
Piers Harding-Rolls of Ampere Analysis told Gamesindustry.biz: “Last year I was unconvinced there would be a new flagship model Switch in 2020, but it makes more commercial sense to release an updated version in 2021.”

Some analysts are even predicting a June 2021 launch date.
Other Nintendo Switch Pro rumours
Manufacturer Universal Display Corp has added its name to the list of sources supporting Nintendo Switch Pro rumours.
Steven V Abramson, CEO of Universal Display Corp, seemed to confirm his companies part in the Nintendo Switch Pro manufacturing process.
A transcript of the call has appeared online.
It states that Abramson said: ““Nintendo has selected an OLED screen for the new Switch Pro due to OLED benefits of higher contrast of faster response times.”
This comment appears to confirm previous rumours about a Nintendo Switch Pro with an OLED screen.
A lot of those rumours began in October 2020.
As with all rumours and speculations, we won’t know for sure if a Nintendo Switch Pro is being released until we get official word from Nintendo itself.
