Nintendo Warns Switch 2 Owners Not to Remove Protective Screen Film

As excitement builds for Nintendo's upcoming console, the Switch 2, the company is issuing an important warning: Do not peel off the screen's pre-installed protective film. While many users might assume the thin layer is meant to be removed, like the protective films that come on phones or tablets, Nintendo says this particular film plays a critical role in protecting the device and should stay exactly where it is. The alert came via Nintendo Soup and was recently highlighted in reports from gaming outlets. According to the official Nintendo Switch 2 safety and instructions manual, the display comes with an "anti-scattering adhesive film" already applied. Its purpose is to prevent shards of glass from scattering in the rare event the screen is damaged. Essentially, it's a safety feature, not packaging or shipping material.
