UK Sentinel.The current heatwave engulfing Europe has led Nintendo to issue a serious warning over the Switch console.
The developers make it clear that the console should not be used in temperatures exceeding 35 degrees Celsius, so using the console in places like stuffy bedrooms, or hot cars, is a significant risk.
As per the Met Office in the UK, London is set to hit over 30 degrees in the coming seven days, with an Amber Warning issued for extreme heat.
Nintendo used its official Japanese Twitter account to issue the warning.
It is not exactly clear what will happen to your Switch if you use it in excessive heat, but it is liable to turn itself off as it aims to prevent any damage.
Nintendo wrote: “If you use the Nintendo Switch in a hot place, the temperature of the main unit may become high. Please use in the place of 5 to 35C. Also, if the intake and exhaust ports are blocked, the temperature of the main unit may rise. Make the air around the intake and exhaust ports better.
“If the temperature of the main unit becomes too high, it may sleep automatically to protect the main unit. When playing in TV mode, install the Nintendo Switch Dock in a location that does not retain heat.
