Last year, several rumours and reports<\/a> indicated that Nintendo\u2019s fabled Switch Pro will release before March 2022<\/a>. March 2022 is here, and the Switch Pro isn\u2019t, though a new leak has revealed new information about the rumoured handheld.<\/p>\n

According to Tech Power Up<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>which analyzed the leak and called it the \u201cmother of all cyberattacks,\u201d the breach put out critical driver source code, the ability to disable LHR (Lite Hash Rate) for mining cryptocurrencies, and offers a look into future Nvidia hardware.<\/p>\n

Game modder @NWPlayer123 <\/a>and coder @LuigiBlood<\/a> pointed out on Twitter how some of the leaked code might include references to a next-gen Nintendo Switch.<\/p>\n

NVIDIA leaks have “nvn2”, which seems to be the graphics api for the Switch Pro, based on Ampere with ray tracing support and DLSS 2.2 pic.twitter.com\/k6nEr31CcY<\/a><\/p>\n

They said Nvidia DLSS source code leaked except I instantly see “nvn2” in the screenshot which sounds\u2026 Switch 2 specific code?https:\/\/t.co\/sGdANFTYsg<\/a><\/p>\n

The leaked data shows files and folders marked as \u201cnvn2,\u201d whereas the original Switch\u2019s graphics API (application programming interface) has historically been called nvn, and was made by Nvidia for the original Nintendo Switch.<\/p>\n

This is the only piece of speculative evidence that was found which may prove the existence of a Switch Pro or a Switch 2, and hence, it should be taken with a grain of salt until confirmed by Nvidia or Nintendo. However, the leak didn\u2019t fail to cause a stir in the Nintendo community.<\/p>\n

If true, the upcoming Switch Pro\/Switch 2 would feature Nvidia\u2019s DLSS super sampling, ray tracing, improved CPU performance and a 4K resolution (likely when docked), giving the regular Switch<\/a> and Switch OLED<\/a> users a compelling reason to upgrade.<\/p>\n
