The gaming community is buzzing with excitement as rumors surface about a major update coming to the Nintendo Switch 2. According to industry insiders, Nintendo's latest console may soon receive a feature that players have been eagerly anticipating since the original Switch launched - customizable themes.

Since its official release, the Switch 2 has shattered sales records, becoming not just Nintendo's fastest-selling console but the quickest-selling gaming system in US history. This potential update could further cement its position as the must-have gaming device of 2025.

Nintendo has already given players numerous reasons to celebrate with an impressive lineup of exclusive titles. Mario Kart World revolutionized the franchise with its open-world design, while upcoming releases like Donkey Kong Bananza (developed by the team behind Super Mario Odyssey) and new Metroid, Kirby, and Pokemon games promise to keep the momentum going throughout the year.

The theme customization feature, as reported by reliable Nintendo insider Nash Weedle via ComicBook, would allow players to personalize their Switch 2 home screens. While details remain scarce about whether these themes will be static, dynamic, or both, the mere possibility has the community excited. However, fans might need to practice patience, as the feature isn't expected to arrive until 2026 at the earliest.

This potential update addresses one of the few criticisms of Nintendo's modern consoles. While the Nintendo 3DS featured extensive theme options (including free selections), both the original Switch and Switch 2 have only offered basic light and dark mode settings for their interfaces.

The Switch 2's strong start shows no signs of slowing down. In addition to Nintendo's first-party titles, major third-party games like Gearbox's Borderlands 4 and 2K Sports' NBA 2K26 are confirmed for same-day releases on the platform. Enhanced "Switch 2 Edition" versions of popular Switch games such as Super Mario Party Jamboree and Kirby and the Forgotten Land will also be available, giving players even more reasons to embrace Nintendo's newest system.
