For those who have noted the compactness of the game boxes for the current Switch model, there is promising news on the horizon. Recent information suggests that the game cases for the upcoming Switch 2 will be notably larger, increasing by approximately 40%. The new boxes are anticipated to measure a width of 13 cm and a height of 19.5 cm. In comparison, the cases for the PlayStation 5 are 13.5 cm wide and 17 cm tall.
The source of this information appears to be a French retailer, FNAC, which previously shared an image of a Switch 2 game from Take-Two that has not yet been officially announced. Although the image has since been removed, it sparked creativity among users on Reddit, who began to create their own mockups based on the details provided.
Additionally, earlier insights indicate that the cartridges will maintain a size similar to what players are accustomed to, but with notable physical alterations preventing compatibility with older Switch models. If these details are accurate, along with the dimensions of the new packaging, it could lead to a considerable amount of unoccupied space within the boxes. Whether this aspect is beneficial or not remains a matter of personal opinion.
