Switch 2 Overheating? Nintendo Just Posted a Warning You Shouldn’t Ignore

Don’t try to play your new Switch 2 in a hot room.

Nintendo released its Switch 2 almost two months ago, and it sold close to 6 million units, according to the company’s latest quarterly report. The new console has had a few hardware issues pop up, but Nintendo did confirm that it does have a bit of a heating problem.

In a July 31 post on its X support account, Nintendo advised users to avoid playing the original Switch and the Switch 2 in high temperatures. The company says operating the consoles in a hot environment will raise the temperature within it and could lead to a malfunction.

気温が高い場所でNintendo SwitchやNintendo Switch 2 を使用すると、本体の温度が高くなることがあります。
故障の原因となる可能性がありますので、5～35℃の場所でご使用ください。
最近は35℃を超える日が続いています。屋外で使用する際はご注意ください。

«When using a Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch 2 in a high-temperature environment, the device’s temperature may rise. This could potentially cause malfunctions, so please use it in a location between 5–35°C,» the post says, according to a translation on X. «Recently, temperatures have been exceeding 35°C. Please be cautious when using it outdoors.»

In the U.S., «5–35°C» would be approximately 41–55°F.

Nintendo of America didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment about the tweet.

Some Switch 2 owners have noted on Reddit the overheating warning weeks after the console’s launch in June. When the console gets too hot, a message will pop up advising that the system is overheating, and it will immediately go into sleep mode to cool it off.

So far, it’s unclear what is causing the console to overheat. Some users on the Reddit thread said it happened while they were playing the console in docked mode, which is when the Switch 2 usually displays the highest resolution. Other times, owners said it happened in handheld mode.

Back in 2022, Nintendo confirmed that the original Switch also had a tendency to overheat. It gave a similar message then as to the one that was posted on X just a few days ago.
