The Switch 2 isn’t like other consoles. If you were meant to take your Xbox Series X (7/10, WIRED Review) to the park, you’d probably need a very strange-looking backpack.

The Nintendo Switch 2 isn't the sort of generational leap PlayStations or Xboxes offer, but rather a refinement of what's worked for the last eight years.

Hold the wake button and one of the volume buttons simultaneously on an iPhone, for instance, and it will lock itself and require a passcode to unlock rather than FaceID or TouchID, even if they’re enabled.
