Your Switch 2 Might Struggle This Week In US Heatwave

Currently, certain areas of the U.S. are experiencing a heatwave, which could potentially affect your gaming experience with the Switch 2. Keep in mind that when outdoor temperatures increase, so can the temperature of your device. If it gets excessively hot, the Switch 2 might automatically turn off to prevent potential damage.

According to Polygon‘s findings, Nintendo’s support site advises that users of the Switch 2 in areas prone to heating may encounter the device shutting off. However, one might wonder at what temperature does the Switch 2 become too hot?

According to Nintendo’s advice, it’s best to use the Switch when the temperature is between 41 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius) and 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees Celsius). However, temperatures in certain U.S. cities on June 24 are expected to surpass 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37 degrees Celsius), which is outside the recommended range.

In the real world, your Switch 2 won’t liquefy. However, it’s smart to handle your Switch 2, as well as any other electronic devices, with care during this heatwave or other harsh weather conditions, particularly when you’re utilizing it outdoors. It’s always better to be cautious to protect your gadgets!

The current heatwave sweeping across the United States is affecting regions such as New England, the Midwest, and mid-Atlantic. Multiple states have already broken heat records during this latest wave, with Tuesday, June 24, predicted to surpass more. Over 160 million Americans are currently under heat advisories in various cities like Boston, New York City, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Detroit, Baltimore, and Washington D.C. To make matters worse, the humidity is adding to the discomfort by raising the perceived temperature even further in some areas.

In related Switch 2 updates, it appears that Nintendo and Amazon have reconciled their differences, as Amazon now stocks Nintendo games once more, even the latest exclusive titles for the Switch 2.
