Nintendo Warns Switch 2 Owners Not to Remove Protective Screen Film

Nintendo issues warning for Switch 2 console just days before its widely anticipated release.

As excitement builds for Nintendo’s upcoming console, the Switch 2, the company is issuing an important warning: Do not peel off the screen’s pre-installed protective film.

While many users might assume the thin layer is meant to be removed, like the protective films that come on phones or tablets, Nintendo says this particular film plays a critical role in protecting the device and should stay exactly where it is. The alert came via Nintendo Soup and was recently highlighted in reports from gaming outlets.

According to the official Nintendo Switch 2 safety and instructions manual, the display comes with an «anti-scattering adhesive film» already applied. Its purpose is to prevent shards of glass from scattering in the rare event the screen is damaged. Essentially, it’s a safety feature, not packaging or shipping material.

Why this matters

This distinction between safety and packing is crucial considering most people have become accustomed to peeling off protective layers as a kind of ritual after unboxing new tech devices and small appliances. In this case, removing the film could result in risk of injury or even compromise the durability on the console.

And since the Switch 2 costs $450, it’s likely an investment gamers will want to protect and preserve.

This isn’t the first time Nintendo has included such a feature. The original OLED model of the Nintendo Switch also came with a similar pre-applied protective layer, but the messaging around it wasn’t as direct and proactive.

When will the Switch 2 release?

CNET has been covering Switch 2 news for months now as the hype for the new console grows. Release day is June 5.

Preorders were delayed due to concerns around President Donald Trump’s global tariffs, but when preorders did go live in April, they sold out almost instantly. It’s unclear when Nintendo will replenish stock after launch week, but our CNET experts are tracking restocks across the US.

In preparation for the release, Nintendo has already begun rolling out updates to its mobile app and companies are already working to release third-party Switch 2 accessories.

What can we expect from launch week?

At launch, the Switch 2 will debut with a lineup of 20 games, including Mario Kart World, which will also be offered as part of a console bundle. Zelda fans can also look forward to enhanced Switch 2 versions of both The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.

Our CNET experts have played every game available for Switch 2 and have tried out all of the Nintendo games you can update to Switch 2 for free.
