Launch date 23rd July 2026 Platform Switch 2 Physical? Yes Going by our preview , Splatoon Raiders is something different for the series - with more platforming, a refresh to weapon and loadout customisation, the addition of dungeons and bosses - which makes us even more excited.

23rd Jul 2026 (UK/EU ) Launch date 23rd July Platform Switch 2 Physical? Japan-only so far, Game-Key Card Two of the best role-playing games from the PS2 are coming to Nintendo's newest console. How it differs from 2019's Switch 1 editions remains to be seen, but if you've been itching for a replay - or have yet to sample the delights of Spira - the expected resolution bump alone should be worth it. And if you are in the middle of a Switch 1 playthrough, there's unfortunately no word of an upgrade path or save data transfer available.
Launch date 30th July Platform Switch 2 Physical? Yes (1st October) Xenoblade Chronicles 2 gets the Switch 2 Edition treatment after the surprise drop of the first game during June's Nintendo Direct.
As well as improved performance for up to 4K 60fps, new battles where you control Blades, and the additions of a Blade and Blade quest and equipment designs for Pyra and Mythra.
Launch date 4th August Platform Switch 2 Physical? TBC From the developer of Untitled Goose Game , this "walker-talker" is all about co-operation and communication.
Anywhere from two to 12 players must work together to overcome obstacles and puzzles using a wide array of communication methods. And if you don't have any friends on Switch 2, the good news is Big Walk is going to feature crossplay with PS5 and PC players.
Launch date 11th August 2026 Platform Switch 2 Physical? Yes (full game on cart ) Over a year after it arrived on other consoles, Oblivion Remastered is making its way to Switch 2.
Hopefully the bugs from other versions will be ironed out by the time we get our hands on this, but we're eager to return to a classic world with a new lick of paint — it's one of Bethesda's best, and we hope it makes the Switch 2 jump better than Skyrim did.

27th Aug 2026 (UK/EU ) Launch date 27th August 2026 Platform Switch 1 & 2 Physical? Yes on Switch, Game-Key Card on Switch 2 It was only a matter of time before Konami announced the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 , and yes, Metal Gear Solid 4 will finally be available on consoles other than PS3.
Alongside that, we're also getting Ghost Babel and Peace Walker . And the package is coming to Switch 1 as well; we're definitely curious to see how MGS4 holds up on the older system.
Launch date 28th August, 2026 Platform Switch 2 Physical? Yes (Game-Key Card) Here's a port everyone expected — Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition , which includes the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC and some brand new character classes, introduced for the new version.
You've surely heard of this GOTY winner from 2022; "open-world Souls" is the phrase often banded around. While early demos reported performance issues, more recent footage has looked much better, and the delay into 2026 should help.
Hopefully we won't lose our temper as we get our backsides handed to us over and over again.
Launch date August 2026 Platform Switch 2 Physical? Unlikely The critically-acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV is coming to a Nintendo console, some 13 years after it made its debut! Of course, the game has been through a lot of changes and has seen many expansions over the years, and it'll be arriving on Switch 2 before the next big expansion, Evercold.
There will be a beta period before the game fully launches, but after that, you'll need to pay a subscription to play — and, if you want to double dip as a PC or PS5 player, then you'll need to pay an additional sub, at half the cost. If you don't mind that, it should be a great opportunity to do some crafting and gathering on-the-go.

Aug 2026 (UK/EU ) Launch date August 2026 Platform Switch 2 Physical? TBC (perhaps as part of a 'complete edition' in the future?) Pokémon Pokopia 's Expansion Pass is rolling out in three parts. The first - in August - will introduce a new underwater area named Bubbly Basin. How will you venture into the depths, you may wonder? It's through a new Dive ability, which will be made available to all players for free.
Part 2 will then arrive in late 2026 with new features and crafting recipes, and Part 3 sometime in 2027 with a new town and more.
Launch date Summer 2026 Platform Switch 2 Physical? Game-Key Card Now here's a game we're surprised to see on Switch 2. Hitman developer IO Interactive is creating what it calls "the ultimate spycraft fantasy" in 007 First Light (originally known as Project 007), a wholly unique James Bond stealth-action game.
This Bond origin story will feature 007 as he starts life in MI6. Blending stealth gameplay with gadgets, car chases, and style galore, we'll have to wait until the summer — after the game's release on other consoles, with reviews saying it's a banger — to see how the game holds up.
