Switch 2’s dev kits supply issues have “largely been resolved” according to insider

While a select few developers were able to get their hands on Nintendo Switch 2 dev kits far in advance of the console’s release, many others were left waiting for Nintendo to make additional units available. With the Switch 2 now over 6 months into its life however, it appears as though the console maker has managed to stabilise its production and release of Switch 2 dev kits.

In the months following the Switch 2’s launch, many developers revealed that they would love to bring their games over to Nintendo’s latest and greatest, however a lack of development kits were causing delays.

Fortunately, it appears as though the backlog has now been cleared, with known industry insider NateTheHate taking to the ‘famiboards’ forum to claim that “the [Switch 2] devkit delivery situation has largely been resolved.”

This response was made in reference to recent rumours which stated that Call of Duty could be coming to Switch 2 in the coming months, with Nate noting: “In the case of COD… it doesn't mean they got a devkit super late, either. Just late enough that they couldn't get the work done to launch the game sooner.”

Regardless, it is encouraging to see that more 3rd party developers are now able to properly start working on Switch 2 ports of their previous (or upcoming) releases. It will be interesting to see how long exactly we’ll have to wait for COD to get announced for Switch 2.
