New dock

Use the dock to play on a bigger screen

Play in 4K
Take in all the detail with screen resolutions up to 4K when you connect the Nintendo Switch 2 system to a compatible TV using the dedicated dock. The system also supports HDR, VRR, and frame rates up to 120 fps on compatible TVs.

Fan ventilation for powerful cooling
The Nintendo Switch 2 dock has a built-in fan that works to keep your system cool and helps stabilize performance.

Connecting to a TV is easy
Compatible TVs can automatically turn themselves on when they detect the Nintendo Switch 2 system powering on while docked. The system supports Consumer Electronics Control (CEC), where the TV automatically detects and changes to the correct input. And with Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), you can even have your compatible TV automatically change to its game-mode setting.

Find the right viewing angle with a sturdy stand

Share your system for instant multiplayer fun

The freedom of flexibility
The stand on the back of the system can be adjusted to any angle up to 150 degrees—allowing you to freely find the comfiest placement, no matter where you’re playing.

Two USB-C® ports
USB-C® ports are now on the top and bottom of the system. Plug in the included AC adapter and play in tabletop mode while the system charges.​

You can also connect a compatible USB-C® camera (sold separately) and enjoy video chatting with GameChat anytime.

Joy-Con 2
Easy. Comfy. Magnetic.

Attach and detach with ease
The Nintendo Switch 2 system comes with two Joy-Con™ 2 controllers.

When you move the Joy-Con 2 controllers close to the sides of the system, they’ll snap into place thanks to built-in magnets.

These strong magnets keep the controllers attached firmly to the system at all times. Simply press the release button on the back to disengage the magnetic lock—and off they come.

Accessories like the Joy-Con 2 wheel (sold separately) also take advantage of the new connection.

Enhanced sticks and buttons
The Left and Right Sticks are now larger and easier to rest your thumbs on. They also move more smoothly than before, with reduced noise.

The L and R Buttons are now longer, too, and the SL and SR Buttons are bigger for greater comfort and control when playing with a Joy-Con 2 held on its side.

A streamlined wrist strap
The Joy-Con 2 strap makes it easier to get into the game. Snap it on easily—and pop it off with the touch of a button. Handy for whenever you play using motion controls.

Mouse controls are a breeze thanks to smoother gliding and better stability provided by the wider base of the wrist strap.

HD rumble 2
From a faint quiver to a powerful shake that’ll leave an impression, HD rumble 2 powers up the fidelity and capability of force feedback.

HD rumble 2 responds quickly to in-game action and can convey even more complex rumble patterns, creating a more refined tactile feeling.

Mouse controls using Joy-Con 2
See those little sensors on the colorful sides of both Joy-Con 2 controllers? Place the sensors faced down on a surface and slide the controllers around to use them like a mouse in compatible games.

Whether passing one controller to a friend for multiplayer fun or using both yourself, mouse controls open up even more ways to play.
