Nintendo Warns Switch 2 Owners Not to Remove Protective Screen Film

  • Ahead of the Switch 2's official release in Japan on June 5, 2025, Nintendo has advised users to keep the pre-applied protective film on the console's screen intact and not to peel it off.
  • The warning stems from the screen's built-in anti-scattering adhesive film designed to prevent glass fragments from scattering if damaged, as explained in Nintendo's official safety manual.
  • This film also serves to maintain the device's durability and reduce injury risk, and similar protection appeared on the previous OLED Switch but without as direct messaging.
  • Switch 2 preorders sold out quickly after launching in April, the device starts at $450, and Nintendo additionally offers a $39.99 carrying case with screen protector releasing alongside the console.
  • This caution suggests Nintendo prioritizes user safety and device longevity, highlighting the importance of leaving the adhesive film intact during unboxing and usage.
