Nintendo is preparing to release Switch Pro with 4K support before the end of the year

Back in March last year there were rumors about the imminent release of Nintendo Switch Pro, a more powerful version of the popular hybrid console. But together with the advanced version came out a bit improved version with OLED screen. Now, Chinese insider GraffitiMAX has once again reported that the Switch Pro is just around the corner.

There will be no significant changes in design and positioning: the set-top box will retain the ability to play in portable mode, but it will be able to display the picture on the TV already in 4K. Playing on the go will also be more convenient: the display of the new version will be larger than the standard one. The console will also get more RAM and a new Nvidia Tegra processor.

Existing cartridges will fit the new console, but the release of games tailored exclusively for the new generation is not ruled out. Nintendo has done this before: some New 3DS games can't be played on a standard 3DS, and it's been a similar story with the Nintendo DSi and the regular DS. However, in both cases, the exclusive library was modest: 7 and 4 games, respectively.

If GraffitiMAX is right, Switch Pro will be unveiled in September. This insider previously reported on the release Switch Lite and a special version of the Nintendo Switch OLED Splatoon 3 Edition, which was subsequently actually announced, which adds weight to his words.
