The problem with the availability of Nintendo Switch 2 development kits seems to be almost completely solved, according to recent reports. For months, many studios had trouble getting access to the hardware needed to work on games for Nintendo’s next console.
This situation slowed down development, especially for small and mid-size teams, but things now appear to be improving.
Dev Kit Supply is Improving
Sources close to developers say that Nintendo has increased production and distribution of the new dev kits. Many studios that were previously waiting have now received their units, while others expect delivery soon.
The shortage was caused by high demand and limits in early production. Nintendo reportedly decided to focus first on key partners, which left several teams without the tools needed to start or continue work.
With the supply issue almost resolved, developers can now work more smoothly on their projects. This should help ensure a stronger launch lineup for Nintendo Switch 2, with more games ready closer to the console’s release.
While not every studio has received a dev kit yet, the situation is clearly better than before. Developers describe the problem as “largely solved,” even if a few delays still remain.
Nintendo has not released an official statement, but the improved availability suggests that preparations for the new console are moving forward as planned.
