Switch 2 Risks Price Hike Due to Rising Component Costs. Estimated Price Named

Nintendo Switch 2 may become more expensive again: Samsung has increased the price of 8nm wafers used in the console by 10%, and the rising cost of other components only intensifies the pressure on Nintendo.

According to Reuters, Samsung has increased the cost of several silicon wafers it produces by up to 15% due to rising production costs. The price of 8nm wafers, which are used in Switch 2, has increased by 10%.

Nintendo will have to buy these components at a higher price, and such costs are usually passed on to customers. The company has already raised the price of Switch 2 – the new price will take effect in September.

TheGamer suggests that the console may become even more expensive in the future – by next year, the price of Switch 2 could reach $549.99.
