Nintendo Switch Missing Feature Reportedly Coming With Switch 2

It’s been long-anticipated, but a much-desired feature for Nintendo Switch users might not be available on the current model, instead, it seems Nintendo Switch 2 will include it. If you’re keen on this feature, you’ll likely need to upgrade from your original Switch, Switch Lite, or Switch OLED to the Switch 2, which is expected to retail at $450. However, take note that this information is based on recent reports, so it may not yet be confirmed.

The latest report suggests that Nintendo is planning to introduce customizable themes for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. While these themes are expected to become available with the release of firmware update version 2.0, it’s possible that they might not be added until versions 2.1 or 2.2. As per the report, Nintendo intends to offer both free and paid themes. The free themes will primarily be accessible to users who have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription, through earning Platinum Points or completing Quests. Users without a Nintendo Switch Online subscription can still acquire themes for their console, but they’ll need to make a purchase on the Nintendo eShop first.

In contrast to the way Xbox Series X has managed themes during this console generation, all themes on Xbox Series X are provided free of charge. Yet, it bears some resemblance to how the PS4 handled themes. The primary distinction lies in the fact that Sony’s free themes were not exclusive to PS Plus membership, unlike Xbox Series X.

In summary, while this information might be true, approach it with caution since the source lacks a history of reliability to support their statements. This new report originates from Switch 2 Stock X, and as of now, no other insiders or leakers have corroborated any similar claims.

Currently, Nintendo has yet to address this rumor in any form. It’s unlikely that they will respond anytime soon, but if they do, we’ll promptly update the story.
