Switch 2 Travel Bags

Travel bags are designed for players who want to carry more than a standard Switch 2 carrying case can hold. Depending on the design, these bags can store the Nintendo Switch 2 console, accessories, controllers, and sometimes even the dock while making it easier to travel with your setup.

Most Switch 2 travel bags fall into three main types: sling bags, shoulder bags, and backpacks.

Sling / Crossbody Bags 
Sling bags are typically the smallest type of travel bag and are worn across the body. In terms of storage, they are usually similar to a medium-sized Switch 2 carrying case, with enough room for the console and a few small accessories. *Note: sling/crossbody bags are the most common Switch 2 travel bags.

Shoulder Bags
Shoulder bags tend to be larger and offer significantly more storage. Many can hold the Switch 2 console, dock, Joy-Cons, controllers, and other accessories depending on the bag. Some models are also large enough to store other handheld devices like the Steam Deck or ROG Ally, making them a cross-platform option similar to a large carrying case.

Backpacks
Backpacks are very similar to shoulder bags but use two straps and are worn on the back instead of one shoulder. These often provide slightly more storage space, making them a good option if you want to carry your entire gaming setup while traveling.
