A curious new product listing on Nintendo’s official website has sparked fresh speculation among fans about a potential new model of the highly anticipated Switch 2.

The discovery was first highlighted by Bluesky user dootsky, who spotted a previously unseen product code labeled “OSM” within the Nintendo Account Portal. According to the find, requesting this specific code returns an image of the Switch 2, while other invalid codes result in an error message—suggesting “OSM” is a legitimate, recognized identifier in Nintendo’s system.

This has naturally led to questions: Could Nintendo already be preparing a new variant of the Switch 2, even before the base model has launched?

Not So Fast—Here’s What We Know

Before jumping to conclusions, it’s important to look at the facts. In a follow-up note, dootsky pointed out that original Nintendo Switch models (like the Lite, OLED, and standard edition) used product codes such as HAE, HAD, HDH, and HEG. The confirmed product code for the upcoming Switch 2 is BEE, which doesn’t follow the same pattern as “OSM.”

This doesn’t completely rule out the possibility of a new hardware SKU, but it does suggest that “OSM” may serve a different purpose—at least for now. Given that January 16th marked the one-year anniversary of the Switch 2’s initial announcement, it seems early for a hardware revision.

What Could the “OSM” Code Really Mean?

While the discovery is intriguing, it’s best to temper expectations. Nintendo doesn’t create product codes without reason, but “OSM” could relate to several things:

• A developer-only or internal testing model
• An accessory or peripheral tied to the Switch 2
• A placeholder for future firmware or service integration
• Regional or bundle-specific identifier

For now, the meaning remains a mystery—but it’s clear Nintendo is actively organizing its backend for the next generation of hardware.

Stay Tuned for More Switch 2 Updates

As always, we’ll keep a close eye on any official statements from Nintendo regarding the Switch 2 and related product listings. While the “OSM” code is certainly interesting, fans should wait for more concrete evidence before expecting a new model anytime soon.
