Update: Nintendo has issued a statement about Bloomberg’s report. Read the company’s response below.

A news report on Sept. 30, 2021(JST) falsely claims that Nintendo is supplying tools to drive game development for a Nintendo Switch with 4K support. To ensure correct understanding among our investors and customers, we want to clarify that this report is not true.

We also want to restate that, as we announced in July, we have no plans for any new model other than Nintendo Switch – OLED Model, which will launch on October 8, 2021.


Original: Rumors of a 4K-compatibile Switch console aren’t dying down, despite the announcement of the OLED model announced a few months ago that will be releasing in less than two weeks.

Given the amount of reports that have previously surfaced, some had expected Nintendo to unveil an upgraded Switch that would provide additional power and support 4K resolution. However, that did not end up happening. The Switch OLED comes with a bigger and improved screen as well as upgrades like a sturdier kickstand, but the actual internals haven’t changed.
