Microsoft’s Activision trial reveals performance details about the upcoming Switch 2

Apart from many crucial details, Microsoft’s recent trial regarding Activision revealed Switch 2’s prediction about a great specification. It confirmed that Activision Blizzard was informed about next next-generation Switch console in 2022. And Microsoft’s internal emails showed Bobby Kotick, an activation executive, met Nintendo for its upcoming console development. Activision’s Head of Platform Strategy and Partner Relations further prepared an exclusive document which was labelled as NG switch draft.

In this document, an upcoming Switch was demonstrated, which will be equally powerful as the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One– “Given the closer alignment to Gen8 platforms in terms of performance and our previous offerings on PS4 / Xbox One, it is reasonable to assume we could make something compelling for the NG Switch as well. It would be helpful to secure early access to development hardware prototypes and prove that out nice and early.”
