Those playing Star Wars: Hunters on Nintendo Switch should be aware that it’s now been announced that the game is shutting down. Service will end on October 1, 2025.
Prior to that, a final content update is planned for April 15. Additionally, Season 5 is being extended by three weeks.

Bloomberg shared a report today which states that Switch 2 could “become Nintendo’s priciest machine to date, as analysts who regularly communicate with the company and its software and hardware partners anticipate a price tag of $400 or more.” On top of that, there’s the issue of how much Nintendo’s margins could be impacted by tariffs. Still, there’s the sentiment that there’s significant demand among consumers.
