Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your Switch 2 is straightforward: attach the magnetic Joy-Con 2 controllers to the sides of the unit until they click into place. Upon first power-on, follow the on-screen prompts to connect to your Wi-Fi and sign in to your Nintendo account.
Compatibility: The console is compatible with existing Nintendo Switch software. For the best video experience, ensure you are using a certified HDMI 2.1 cable connected to a 4K, VRR-enabled television.
Care: The 1080p screen should be cleaned using a dry, soft microfiber cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials. When storing the console, ensure the magnetic connectors remain free of debris to maintain a strong attachment for the controllers.
