We now have our hands on the Nintendo Switch 2, a new console from one of the biggest names in gaming. Alas, a new console is only as valuable as the library of games you can build on it.
Thankfully, Nintendo hasn’t been shy about planned releases over the next year, which include a mix of Switch 2 exclusives, third-party releases, and the benefit of backward compatibility with any games still launching on the original Switch. Without further ado, here are all of the new Switch 2 games we can look forward to in 2026.
All Upcoming Switch 2 Games With Release Dates

PGA Tour 2K25 (February 6, 2026)
If you found Wii Sports golf to be a little too easy, here you go. PGA Tour, 2K’s golf series, is coming to a Nintendo console for the first time since 2K21. Take on tournaments as your favorite pro player or build up your own character through the MyCareer mode. IGN’s 8/10 review gave the game some solid praise, highlighting that “new swing mechanics, paired with the significantly improved graphics, makes for a much more realistic ambiance.” Let’s hope that performance holds up on the Switch 2.
Tokyo Scramble (February 11, 2026)
Tokyo has been destroyed in a massive cave-in. In the aftermath, Anne wakes up underground to find a subterranean organization filled with creatures called Zeno. If they catch you, they’ll kill you. To escape, you’ll have to focus on stealth. Announced during the February Nintendo Partner Direct, Tokyo Scramble is launching on Switch 2 pretty darn soon.
Paranormasight: A Mermaid’s Curse (February 19, 2026)
Yuza Minakuchi is working as a pearl diver who encounters another version of himself on the sea floor. As strange incidents continue to plague his home island, he must investigate a curious cast of characters throughout the town as well as mysteries in the water.

Next up, we’re getting an expanded, console version of the Blazblue spin-off originally released for mobile and PC in 2023. The action roguelite sets you on an adventure into the Sea of Possibility with new characters and story additions.
Reanimal (February 12, 2026)
From the creators of Little Nightmares 1 and 2 (not 3, keep that in mind), Reanimal is a new co-op horror game. Tap in a friend to play as siblings who must traverse through some incredibly creepy environments to rescue their missing friends. The game also supports a single-player mode.
Yakuza Kiwami 3 + Dark Ties (February 12, 2026)
Yep, there are a lot of games coming out on February 12. To add to the bunch, RGG is releasing what we called a “much-needed” Yakuza 3 remake alongside a completely new companion story. Yakuza Kiwami 3 brings combat and QoL improvements to the original game, while Dark Ties lets you play out antagonist Yoshitaka Mine’s rise to power in the criminal underworld.
Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown (February 18, 2026)
Have you ever wished you could take control of the USS Voyager? Well, here’s your chance. The latest Star Trek game throws you and your ship 700,000 light years into Deep Space, tasking you with managing resources and your crew to make your way out in one piece.
Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition (February 24, 2026)
Pretty soon after the Fallout TV wrapped up its second season, the Anniversary Edition of Fallout 4 will be coming to Switch 2 consoles. The game lets you customize your character to your heart’s content, but ultimately places you on a quest through the wasteland to find your son, Shawn, after centuries of being cryo-frozen. While the Anniversary Edition has gotten some criticism for its pricing, this is the first mainline Fallout RPG to release on a Nintendo console.
Resident Evil: Requiem and Resident Evil Generation Pack (February 27, 2026)
It’s a big one. Resident Evil: Requiem will be available on Switch 2 at launch, marking one of the first third-party AAA releases taking advantage of a cross-platform release with the new Nintendo console. The new game will feature Grace Ashcroft and Leon Kennedy as dual protagonists, with each character bringing their own stealth and action gameplay.
Alongside the newest Resident Evil game, the Switch 2 will also be getting “Gold” editions of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and Resident Evil Village, available separately or as part of a Resident Evil Generation Pack collection.

Never Grave: The Witch and The Curse (March 5, 2026)
From PocketPair, Never Grave is a new 2D roguelite where you harness magic powers (as a hat, of course) to journey into the deep, working to help a young witch retrieve her soul. You also have a home base you can build and upgrade into your own little village.
Coffee Talk Tokyo (March 5, 2026)
We finally have a release date for the next iteration of Coffee Talk, a cozy cafe series developed by Toge Productions. Manage a new but familiar cafe while learning more about your human and yokai customers.
WWE 2K26 (March 13, 2026)
There may be a surprisingly large amount of sports games on the Switch, but one franchise that is only just starting their relationship with the Nintendo consoles is WWE. Following the Switch 2 Edition of WWE 2K25, WWE 2K26 will be launching on Switch 2 consoles the day of its official release.
Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection (March 13, 2026)
We’re getting a third game in the Monster Hunter Stories series, a sub-series of Monster Hunter that we’re pretty big fans of (we gave the first one an 8.9/10, and the second got an 8/10). The next story will follow a civil conflict between Azuria and Vermeil, two nations threatened by a “crystal encroachment.” A demo is available now, with players able to carry over their save data to the full game.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition (March 26, 2026)*
Nintendo knows they have some modern classics, and they’re giving them a lot of love with this Switch 2 release. Following up on last year’s Super Mario Galaxy remaster, Nintendo is releasing a Switch 2 edition of Super Mario Bros. Wonder, which we originally said “establishes a new standard for what 2D Mario platformers should look like” in our 9/10 review. The Switch 2 edition will feature a new area called Bellabel Park, new playable characters, and tons of new mini-games.

Goat Simulator 3 (April 1, 2026)
A bit of a throwback to the 2010’s and the era of the screaming goats memes, but the latest Goat Simulator release from 2022 will be getting a Switch 2 edition this spring.
Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream (April 16, 2026)*
Tomodachi Life was a particularly unique game under the Nintendo umbrella, and I was pretty darn excited to see the series coming back on the Switch 2. The concept of creating Miis and watching them interact on a little island has more novelty than you can imagine, I promise, especially given the range of customization. Nintendo has also fulfilled their promise to introduce more inclusivity after criticisms of the original 3DS game.
Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream happened to get its own dedicated Nintendo Direct, where you’ll find gameplay footage and plenty more information.

Pragmata (April 24, 2026)
After a series of delays dating back to 2021, Capcom finally “re-revealed” Pragmata with a firm release date and confirmation of cross-platform support. Hugh Williams gets injured while exploring a lunar-controlled space station, where he finds Diana, a Pragmata android. The two are classified as intruders, and must combine their hacking and shooting skills to find the truth of the space station. You can learn more about this one in our hands-on preview.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (May 12, 2026)
Set between Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade, this MachineGames adventure game places Indy on a quest for the secret of the Great Circle. Travel the world, from the Great Pyramids to sunken temples, infiltrate historic areas, and beat up baddies during your daring escapes. We had a lot of love for this one when it originally launched on consoles and PC, calling it “far and away the best Indy story this century” in our 9/10 review.
007 First Light (May 27, 2026)
Yet another massive multi-platform release, IO Interactive’s take on James Bond is launching on Switch 2 alongside PC, PS5, and Xbox in late May. The game lets you play out Bond’s initial recruitment and rise in the MI6 ranks, featuring Patrick Gibson as the titular spy and Lenny Kravitz as the villain Bawma.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (June 3, 2026)
The second part of the Final Fantasy VII revamp is coming to Switch 2 consoles this summer. After escaping the city of Midgar, Cloud and co. must traverse across a massive beautiful world in pursuit of Sephiroth. IGN’s 9/10 review describes the game as “both a best-in-class action-RPG full of exciting challenge and depth, and as an awe-inspiring recreation of a world that has meant so much to so many for so long.”
Besides the graphics update, Rebirth introduces a new affinity system with allies and, yes, a ridiculous amount of side quests and mini-games.
The Adventures of Elliot: The Millenium Tales (June 18, 2026)*
The Adventures of Elliot is a new HD-2D RPG from the creators of Octopath Traveler and Bravely Default. While exploring ruins near his hometown, Elliot discovers an artifact that lets him traverse space and time. From there, you must travel across four ages, each with unique citizens and scenery, to try and save your home.
