Nintendo is reportedly set to launch a revised Switch 2 with a removable battery in Europe, in line with regulations requiring easier battery replacement by February 2027.

The European Union's new directives for easily user-replaceable batteries will force Nintendo to update its Switch 2 console with a revised model. The law goes into effect from February 18, 2027, which means an updated Switch 2 that complies with these new regulations needs to come out before that deadline.
