Should you buy a Switch in 2024?
The new Switch is pretty much the old Switch with a bigger, better OLED screen, upgraded speakers, a better stand (the old stand might be the worst stand ever included on a shipping product), and some extra storage. And if you mostly play with your Switch docked to a TV or monitor, there's even less reason to upgrade.
"I think this Switch update isn't necessary for most people. Games will still work fine, and most will look great. Only if you have money to burn and use your Switch often in undocked mode should you consider this." Christen Costa, CEO of Gadget Review, told Lifewire via email.
The official name is Nintendo Switch (OLED model), and it's coming in October. Internally, there is no change in performance, although storage is doubled to 64GB compared to the current 32GB. Battery life also remains the same at 4.5-9 hours, and all existing games will work in the new model.
