When we talk about Nintendo's successor to the Switch, it's usually referred to synonymously as the Switch 2. It was only about four weeks ago that it became known that the console probably won't be released in 2024. Now, a screenshot of a poll on YouTube has surfaced that mentions a possible name for the Switch 2.

This Could Be The Name Of The Switch 2

The screenshot of the YouTube survey asks the following question: Which of the following products would you buy?

A possible real name for Switch 2 "Switch Attach" leaked by Youtube mobile survey by u/Red__Guy in LeaksAndRumors

The answers are as follows, revealing a possible name for the Switch 2:

  • PlayStation 5
  • Xbox Series X
  • Switch Attach
  • None of the above

How Much Truth Is There To The Rumor?

The name "Switch Attach" is now causing speculation online. The general mood: People are not excited about the potential name. Reddit user Red_Guy, who posted the screenshot, believes that Switch Attach could be real, as both the Switch Lite and Switch OLED names were leaked in the same way.

Another user zachtheperson is less convinced, claiming that "YouTube throws in made up suggestions as part of their marketing research. I see made up car and cleaning brands all the time in those surveys."

As always, rumors should be taken with a grain of salt and it's impossible to say whether this is real, a mistake from YouTube or just made up. Until Nintendo announces an official name, nothing is certain.
