Nintendo has made no official announcement to the buying public about its plans for sunsetting the Switch. Beyond the financial report released on November 5, 2025, it hasn’t said much publicly at all about it, and so we have to look to the past to gain our best idea of what the Switch’s near-future will look like.

Nintendo has issued a fresh system software update for the Switch and Switch 2, bringing both consoles' firmware up to Version 21.0.1.

Ubisoft is bringing Assassin's Creed Shadows over to the Nintendo Switch, and it will be targeting 30FPS in both handheld and docked mode.
