Update 2 (1/10): At this point it’s hardly a surprise, but the person behind the video has come forward, confirming that it’s fake:

Update: A couple of red flags have been pointed out since the video first made the rounds. First, the YouTube icon pictured isn’t the latest logo. Secondly, while Mario Kart 8 Deluxe seems to be shown on the console as a digital download, that would take up 6.8GB of memory – yet it only shows that 2GB is used in the video. For now we unfortunately have to lean much closer to this being fake.

Original (1/5): A new video has made its way online that claims to offer a look at Switch version 5.0.0. It shows a few significant features, including folders, the ability to create an online lounge, cloud storage, themes, and more.

Here’s the video in question:

The video does an admirable job of coming off as legitimate, but in this day and age, you can never be too certain. We’ve definitely seen realistic “leaks” in the past that ultimately turned out to be fake. In any case, we should know if this is the real deal fairly soon, as the person who uploaded the video claims the firmware launches in early February. For now, take this with a big grain of salt.
