    Sonic Racing CrossWorlds hands-on preview: It is time to move over Mario

    Nintendo Switch 2 games list – everything you can play right now

    Nintendo Switch 2 games list – everything you can play right now

    Michael Beckwith

    Published June 5, 2025 9:35am

    Updated June 5, 2025 9:43am

    Mario Kart World – the Switch 2’s first must-haveThe Nintendo Switch 2 is finally out now and there are over a dozen games available, but which are the most exciting and which can be safely ignored?
    While the Nintendo Switch 2 is backwards compatible, allowing you to continue playing through your backlog of Switch 1 games, chances are you’re more interested in checking out what’s new for the console.
    As it stands, the Switch 2’s launch line-up is solid. There may only be a small handful of first party Nintendo games, but Mario Kart World alone justifies a day one purchase and, if you don’t have a PlayStation or Xbox, there are lots of third party ports of excellent games you’ve missed out on.
    So, ahead of the Switch 2’s launch on Thursday, June 5, here is a quick rundown of every launch game available for the console, all of which can be pre-ordered now or purchased on launch day.
    Every launch game for Nintendo Switch 2
    Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour

    Will you be paying for this?Expert, exclusive gaming analysis

    Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning.

    Essentially a glorified instruction manual, this interactive museum teaches you all the features of the Switch 2 through a series of mini-games. Shockingly, this isn’t a free add-on and costs £7.99.
    Mario Kart World
    The Switch 2’s big first party exclusive and the first truly new Mario Kart game since 2014. It’ll be hard to top Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but Mario Kart World aims to do just that by introducing a massive open world to drive around. Here’s our review in progress so far.
    The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
    This upgraded version of The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild is a great demonstration of the Switch 2’s more powerful hardware by offering an improved frame rate and HDR support. If you own the original on Switch you can pay a fee of £7.99 for the upgrade or get it free if you’re a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscriber.
    The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition

    Both Zelda games will also be compatible with a new Zelda Notes mobile appLike Breath Of The Wild, the Switch 2 version of The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom only offers visual and performance improvements, although there is the new Zelda Notes mobile app to keep track of and get hints on side quests. As with Breath Of The Wild you can either pay for the upgrade or get it free with Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack.
    Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition
    Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most technically impressive Switch 2 games, with a performance comparable to the PlayStation 4 Pro. It also comes with the Phantom Liberty DLC and mouse support.
    Split Fiction
    Arguably the best co-op game of the current generation, Split Fiction is a more than worthy follow-up to It Takes Two. Thanks to the Switch 2’s GameShare feature, you and a friend can play together with only one copy.
    Hogwarts Legacy
    Although Hogwarts Legacy is already available for Switch 1, the new console will be getting an upgraded version that works similarly to the Zelda games. Not only are the graphics improved but you can even use the mouse controls for casting spells.
    Street Fighter 6
    Street Fighter 6 is still going strong among fighting game fans and now Nintendo owners can join in the fun thanks to online cross-play. A standard version is available for £34.99, but you can spend an extra £15 for a version that bundles together all of the DLC characters.
    Hitman World Of Assassination – Signature Edition
    There is already a cloud version of Hitman 3 for Switch 1, but this will be the optimal Hitman experience for Nintendo owners going forward. This compiles all the content from IO Interactive’s modern Hitman trilogy alongside a seperate roguelike mode.
    Sonic X Shadow Generations
    One of Sonic’s better 3D outings gets an equally good remaster, coupled with an even better adventure centred around Shadow the Hedgehog, in Sonic X Shadow Generations. Unfortunately, Sega isn’t offering any sort of upgrade path for people who bought the Switch 1 version.
    Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut
    The Yakuza games have started to find a new home with Nintendo thanks to the Switch 1 port of Yakuza Kiwami and now there’s this updated remaster of Yakuza 0, which adds new cut scenes and an online multiplayer mode. It’s a timed exclusive so it’ll come to other platforms eventually.
    Kunitsu-Gami: Path Of The Goddess
    It’s not for everyone, but Kunitsu-Gami: Path Of The Goddess’ blend of action and real-time strategy gameplay is wonderfully weird and fascinating. It being on Switch 2 means it can make use of the console’s mouse controls and it comes with new content that’ll also be added to the PlayStation, Xbox, and PC versions.
    Deltarune
    The episodic successor to Undertale, it’s been four years since Deltarune’s second chapter launched. For the Switch 2’s launch, not only are the game’s first two chapters being ported to the console, but chapters three and four are dropping at the same time as well, for all formats.
    Survival Kids
    We’re still surprised Konami opted to reboot this long-forgotten franchise, but as fans of the original Game Boy Color game we’re glad it did. Simply dubbed Survival Kids, it’s less a survival game and more a co-op puzzle adventure where up to four players must explore a series of islands.
    Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S
    Sega’s second crossover puzzle game featuring Puyo Puyo and Tetris will find new life on Switch 2. So far only confirmed for Nintendo’s new console, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S offers a unique doubles mode for two teams of two to play against one another.
    Fast Fusion
    German studio Shin’en Multimedia continues to fill the F-Zero shaped gap in peoples’ hearts with the newest entry in its Fast series of racing games. Aside from online multiplayer and GameShare compatibility, Shin’en promises you can create hundreds of new racing machines by fusing vehicles together.
    Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster
    The original Bravely Default gets a much deserved second lease of life with a full Switch 2 remaster. Aside from HD graphics and quality of life updates, the remaster adds two new mini-games and reworks the original’s online features.
    Sid Meier’s Civilization 7 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
    With the Switch 2’s mouse controls, strategy games like Civilization 7 will hopefully become more commonplace on Nintendo’s platform. If you already own the game on Switch 1, you can upgrade to the Switch 2 version for £8.99.
    Nobunaga’s Ambition: Awakening Complete Edition
    Another upgraded port of a strategy game, this complete edition also coincides with the 40th anniversary of the Nobunaga’s Ambition series. Aside from mouse control support and all of the original game’s DLC, this includes six new story scenarios.
    Rune Factory: Guardians Of Azuma Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
    A new spin-off for the Rune Factory series of role-playing/social sim games, Guardians Of Azuma has you battling monsters one minute and cultivating your own farm the next. It will launch for Switch 1 as well, which you can later upgrade to Switch 2 for a £10 fee.
    Suikoden 1&2 HD Remaster: Gate Rune And Dunan Unification Wars
    This compilation of two Suikoden remasters from Konami brings the role playing series to Switch 2 just a few months after its original multiplatform launch. Sadly, there’s no option for Switch 1 owners to upgrade to the new version.
    Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
    Level-5’s own role playing life sim hybrid only just arrived on Switch 1 and other consoles, but it too is seeing a Switch 2 version at launch. There’s no exact UK price for upgrading from the Switch 1 version, but it’s onlyin the US, so expect something equally cheap over here.
    Arcade Archives 2: Ridge Racer
    For the first time ever, the original arcade version of Ridge Racer from 1993 will be playable on consoles. Although it was initially announced for Switch 2, it is launching for PlayStation and Xbox as well.
    Fortnite
    What else is there to say about Fortnite? You know what it’s about. It’ll be free to play as usual and make the most of the Switch 2’s hardware to look and run better than its Switch 1 counterpart.

    Fortnite fans on Switch will want to think about upgradingEmail gamecentral@metro.co.uk, leave a comment below, follow us on Twitter.

Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. Essentially a glorified instruction manual, this interactive museum teaches you all the features of the Switch 2 through a series of mini-games. Shockingly, this isn’t a free add-on and costs £7.99. Mario Kart World The Switch 2’s big first party exclusive and the first truly new Mario Kart game since 2014 (not counting the mobile game). It’ll be hard to top Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but Mario Kart World aims to do just that by introducing a massive open world to drive around. Here’s our review in progress so far. The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition This upgraded version of The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild is a great demonstration of the Switch 2’s more powerful hardware by offering an improved frame rate and HDR support. If you own the original on Switch you can pay a fee of £7.99 for the upgrade or get it free if you’re a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscriber. The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Both Zelda games will also be compatible with a new Zelda Notes mobile app (Nintendo) Like Breath Of The Wild, the Switch 2 version of The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom only offers visual and performance improvements, although there is the new Zelda Notes mobile app to keep track of and get hints on side quests. As with Breath Of The Wild you can either pay for the upgrade or get it free with Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most technically impressive Switch 2 games, with a performance comparable to the PlayStation 4 Pro. It also comes with the Phantom Liberty DLC and mouse support. Split Fiction Arguably the best co-op game of the current generation, Split Fiction is a more than worthy follow-up to It Takes Two. Thanks to the Switch 2’s GameShare feature, you and a friend can play together with only one copy. Hogwarts Legacy Although Hogwarts Legacy is already available for Switch 1, the new console will be getting an upgraded version that works similarly to the Zelda games. Not only are the graphics improved but you can even use the mouse controls for casting spells. Street Fighter 6 Street Fighter 6 is still going strong among fighting game fans and now Nintendo owners can join in the fun thanks to online cross-play. A standard version is available for £34.99, but you can spend an extra £15 for a version that bundles together all of the DLC characters. Hitman World Of Assassination – Signature Edition There is already a cloud version of Hitman 3 for Switch 1, but this will be the optimal Hitman experience for Nintendo owners going forward. This compiles all the content from IO Interactive’s modern Hitman trilogy alongside a seperate roguelike mode. Sonic X Shadow Generations One of Sonic’s better 3D outings gets an equally good remaster, coupled with an even better adventure centred around Shadow the Hedgehog, in Sonic X Shadow Generations. Unfortunately, Sega isn’t offering any sort of upgrade path for people who bought the Switch 1 version. Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut The Yakuza games have started to find a new home with Nintendo thanks to the Switch 1 port of Yakuza Kiwami and now there’s this updated remaster of Yakuza 0, which adds new cut scenes and an online multiplayer mode. It’s a timed exclusive so it’ll come to other platforms eventually. Kunitsu-Gami: Path Of The Goddess It’s not for everyone, but Kunitsu-Gami: Path Of The Goddess’ blend of action and real-time strategy gameplay is wonderfully weird and fascinating. It being on Switch 2 means it can make use of the console’s mouse controls and it comes with new content that’ll also be added to the PlayStation, Xbox, and PC versions. Deltarune The episodic successor to Undertale, it’s been four years since Deltarune’s second chapter launched. For the Switch 2’s launch, not only are the game’s first two chapters being ported to the console (as well as PlayStation 5), but chapters three and four are dropping at the same time as well, for all formats. Survival Kids We’re still surprised Konami opted to reboot this long-forgotten franchise, but as fans of the original Game Boy Color game we’re glad it did. Simply dubbed Survival Kids, it’s less a survival game and more a co-op puzzle adventure where up to four players must explore a series of islands. Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S Sega’s second crossover puzzle game featuring Puyo Puyo and Tetris will find new life on Switch 2. So far only confirmed for Nintendo’s new console, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S offers a unique doubles mode for two teams of two to play against one another. Fast Fusion German studio Shin’en Multimedia continues to fill the F-Zero shaped gap in peoples’ hearts with the newest entry in its Fast series of racing games. Aside from online multiplayer and GameShare compatibility, Shin’en promises you can create hundreds of new racing machines by fusing vehicles together. Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster The original Bravely Default gets a much deserved second lease of life with a full Switch 2 remaster. Aside from HD graphics and quality of life updates, the remaster adds two new mini-games and reworks the original’s online features. Sid Meier’s Civilization 7 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition With the Switch 2’s mouse controls, strategy games like Civilization 7 will hopefully become more commonplace on Nintendo’s platform. If you already own the game on Switch 1, you can upgrade to the Switch 2 version for £8.99. Nobunaga’s Ambition: Awakening Complete Edition Another upgraded port of a strategy game, this complete edition also coincides with the 40th anniversary of the Nobunaga’s Ambition series. Aside from mouse control support and all of the original game’s DLC, this includes six new story scenarios. Rune Factory: Guardians Of Azuma Nintendo Switch 2 Edition A new spin-off for the Rune Factory series of role-playing/social sim games, Guardians Of Azuma has you battling monsters one minute and cultivating your own farm the next. It will launch for Switch 1 as well, which you can later upgrade to Switch 2 for a £10 fee. Suikoden 1&2 HD Remaster: Gate Rune And Dunan Unification Wars This compilation of two Suikoden remasters from Konami brings the role playing series to Switch 2 just a few months after its original multiplatform launch. Sadly, there’s no option for Switch 1 owners to upgrade to the new version. Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Level-5’s own role playing life sim hybrid only just arrived on Switch 1 and other consoles, but it too is seeing a Switch 2 version at launch. There’s no exact UK price for upgrading from the Switch 1 version, but it’s only $2.59 (about £1.91) in the US, so expect something equally cheap over here. Arcade Archives 2: Ridge Racer For the first time ever, the original arcade version of Ridge Racer from 1993 will be playable on consoles. Although it was initially announced for Switch 2, it is launching for PlayStation and Xbox as well. Fortnite What else is there to say about Fortnite? You know what it’s about. It’ll be free to play as usual and make the most of the Switch 2’s hardware to look and run better than its Switch 1 counterpart. Fortnite fans on Switch will want to think about upgrading (Epic Games) Email gamecentral@metro.co.uk, leave a comment below, follow us on Twitter.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s story hits even harder the second time around

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has been on my mind a lot lately. I’m sure you’ve been thinking about it too, even if you’re not playing it. It’s taken over the video game world for the last month and change, and, after selling 3.3 million copies in 33 days, it doesn’t look to be slowing down anytime soon. It’s a joy to play, but I’m having just as much fun watching someone else play it as I did playing it myself — and now I can’t wait for its film adaptation.

    I finished Clair Obscur’s main story after about 45 hours, but wasn’t quite ready for my time with it to end. Instead of immediately pursuing the vast post-game content, I gravitated toward watching my partner play it through from the beginning, and it’s quite the beautiful and gripping experience. Its emotional standout moments hit just as hard — maybe even harder, knowing what’s to come — the second time around.

    I meant to spend a larger chunk of my Memorial Day holiday weekend finally checking out Sea of Stars’ newDLC, but got sucked into Clair Obscur again all over. Instead of spending hours with Valere and Zale’s new circus-themed abilities in Sea of Stars, I was distracted by Clair Obscur’s breathtaking cutscenes playing on the TV right there. Sorry, Sea of Stars, but I can’t turn away from Gustave and stop from wondering how much he looks like Robert Pattison!

    Hearing the distinct, booming thud of Renoir’s walking stick as the end of Act 1 approached, the knot in my stomach was even tighter the second time around knowing what fate was about to befall Gustave. We’re barely granted time to mourn Gustave after his clash with Renoir before Verso jumps onto the scene, and everything about his dialogue, character interactions, and cutscenes during the rest of the game is enhanced knowing who his character truly is.

    He shows up just too late to save Gustave, but on second viewing we know that’s not true; Verso can admit to Maelle in Act 3 that he intentionally let Gustave die, which makes Gustave’s already heartbreaking death scene all the more painful. Then, at camp, he and his bestie Esquie catch up after a few years apart. “Maman’s the word,” Esquie says after Verso asks if he revealed Verso’s secret — that Verso is a painted copy of Renoir and the Paintress’ dead son — and, admittedly, knowing that the wine-filled beacon of empathy was also holding out on the expeditioners felt like a betrayal. One liar in the group stings, but two hurts deeply.

    And let’s be frank: Verso’s a betrayer and a liar. A filthy, filthy liar — yet I can’t blame the guy. After experiencing his ending and realizing just how much this man wants to die, his actions and lies throughout Acts 2 and 3 make sense. Every conversation with Esquie and Monocohas hidden layers that you only truly understand once all of Verso’s and Clair Obscur’s cards are on the table.

    Watching someone else’s playthrough of Clair Obscur also has me even more hyped for the upcoming film adaptation. In case the game wasn’t on your radar before it exploded in popularity following its April launch, Story Kitchen announced in January it’s working on a Clair Obscur film. The minds behind the Sonic the Hedgehog films have quite a few video-game-to-film adaptations in the pipeline, and Clair Obscur will join them.

    Of course, adapting a 45-hour game into a 2-hour film will be a difficult task, and I’m sure several story cuts and concessions will have to be made. Some will be easier than others, but as long as the core storylines remain intact, it can work. Clair Obscur is really about the Dessendre family’s cycle of grief and how it harms both the characters we love and those we never meet in a multitude of ways, and that’ll make for an excellent film. Now, if only the filmmakers can get Charlie Coxand Andy Serkison board to reprise their roles — then the film will really start cooking.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s story hits even harder the second time around
    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has been on my mind a lot lately. I’m sure you’ve been thinking about it too, even if you’re not playing it. It’s taken over the video game world for the last month and change, and, after selling 3.3 million copies in 33 days, it doesn’t look to be slowing down anytime soon. It’s a joy to play, but I’m having just as much fun watching someone else play it as I did playing it myself — and now I can’t wait for its film adaptation. I finished Clair Obscur’s main story after about 45 hours, but wasn’t quite ready for my time with it to end. Instead of immediately pursuing the vast post-game content, I gravitated toward watching my partner play it through from the beginning, and it’s quite the beautiful and gripping experience. Its emotional standout moments hit just as hard — maybe even harder, knowing what’s to come — the second time around. I meant to spend a larger chunk of my Memorial Day holiday weekend finally checking out Sea of Stars’ newDLC, but got sucked into Clair Obscur again all over. Instead of spending hours with Valere and Zale’s new circus-themed abilities in Sea of Stars, I was distracted by Clair Obscur’s breathtaking cutscenes playing on the TV right there. Sorry, Sea of Stars, but I can’t turn away from Gustave and stop from wondering how much he looks like Robert Pattison! Hearing the distinct, booming thud of Renoir’s walking stick as the end of Act 1 approached, the knot in my stomach was even tighter the second time around knowing what fate was about to befall Gustave.
