Has your Switch 2 been running hot? You're not alone. In fact, part of the problem might just be that you're playing it during the summer—at least, according to a new statement from Nintendo. As spotted by Tom's Hardware, Nintendo's official Japanese account posted a warning to both Switch 2 and original Switch players:
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Using Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch 2 in a hot environment may cause the console to become hot. Please use it in a place between 5 and 35 ℃ as it may cause a malfunction. Recently, the temperature has been exceeding 35 ℃ for several days. Please be careful when using outdoors.
But at the moment, we're not focusing on the lower end of this range—it's the 95 degree limit we need to think about. Nintendo's warning comes as many countries around the globe experience a hot summer. Nintendo of Japan's post focused on Japan, of course, but plenty of other regions have experienced heat waves exceeding 95 degrees. As such, if you decide to play your Switch 2 outside on a day that hot (or hotter), you may experience issues with your device.
Microchips are designed to run up to a certain temperature threshold. The chip in your Switch 2 doesn't max out at 95 degrees, however: That limit is there to ensure the chip doesn't get close to its maximum temperature. Once the Switch 2 starts to get too hot, it'll work to stay cool: Fans try to push hot air out, while the processor may slow down, resulting in noticeable lag in performance.
Switch 2 reportedly overheats
Playing the console outside when it's too hot is perhaps the "best" way to push the Switch 2 to its temperature limits, but it might not be the only way.
The Switch 2 is quite a bit more powerful than the original Switch, especially in docked mode, and while both the console and the dock have built-in fans for active cooling, it's possible that higher-performance is leading to more warming than expected for players.
This Nintendo post on X could suggest that the worst of the overheating reports have come alongside a particularly warm summer—if the Switch 2 is prone to warming up during the best of conditions, then playing it outside or in a space without air conditioning on a hot day could result in overheating.
There's not enough here for me to consider this a concerning trend, but it is good to keep in mind. If it's too hot, find somewhere cooler to play your Switch.
