Every Nintendo Switch 2 Game Confirmed for 2026

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. In the second half of 2026, we'll be getting our hands on 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 and beyond.

All Upcoming Switch 2 Games With Release Dates

Splatoon Raiders (July 23, 2026)*

The next Splatoon game officially has a release date. The Switch 2-exclusive release will be single-player focused, letting you customize and control your own Mechanic, while supporting up to four players in co-op. It also looks to have a particularly big map that you progressively unlock throughout the game.

Big Walk (August 4, 2026)

From the creators of Untitled Goose Game comes what I would affectionately call a new addition to the friendslop genre. Which, again, is not a bad thing. This one lets you join up to 11 (!!) friends in an open world of puzzles and adventures, and of course features some good ol’ proxy chat.

Lies of P: Complete Edition (August 6, 2026)

One of the most beloved Souls-likes is getting a new ‘Complete Edition’ to accompany its launch on Switch 2. This new edition will include the Overture expansion as well as some quality of life improvements unique to the Nintendo console. It will be available to purchase digitally starting August 6, with a physical edition releasing later in October.

The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered (August 11, 2026)

Oblivion Remastered wasn't necessarily Bethesda's best-kept secret, but the day it 'shadow-dropped' was still one of the cooler Xbox moments in recent history. IGN's 8/10 review calls the full remake “a fantastic modernization” while acknowledging some "jank," including flubs left in for nostalgia's sake.

In a somewhat active statement against the ongoing trend of digitization, Bethesda and Nintendo have confirmed that the Switch 2 edition of the Oblivion remake will be coming on a cartridge, which has already been selling out as a preorder.
