The Nintendo Switch 5 will be launched on June 2. High-profile titles that require a lot of computing power will also be released for the console.
"Nintendo Switch "Nintendo Switch 2 is the next step in home video games that can be played on the go, building on eight years of gameplay and discovery that began with Nintendo Switch," said Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa. He spoke at the official Direct show when the company unveiled the console. The new features are intended to expand the possibilities of the gaming experience, Furukawa said. This probably includes the fact that the Nintendo Switch 2 has significantly more power under the hood than its predecessor.
Outlaws and Cyberpunk 2077 for Nintendo Switch 2
According to Nintendo, the Nintendo Switch 2 features "significantly improved CPU and GPU performance compared to the Nintendo Switch, enabling new, visually advanced gameplay." This also enables more detailed graphics and faster loading times. Docked, up to 120 FPS and 4K resolution are possible—which naturally plays into the hands of current top titles.
Fans can therefore look forward to games like Star Wars Outlaws also being available for Nintendo Switch 2 will be released. Ubisoft announced this in a separate press release shortly after the show. In 2025, players will be able to roam the galaxy with Kay Vess and her companion Nix. "The exciting open-world adventure will be released for the new console later this year," the publisher said.
CD Projekt Red also didn’t take long to ask and became “part of the show”: Cyberpunk 2077 will be released as an “Ultimate Edition”, including the expansion, for Nintendo Switch 2. The game will then be available as a physical cartridge version and as a downloadable title. The open-world RPG, in particular, is currently considered a showcase for ever-improving graphics—so fans will also be able to enjoy the game on Nintendo Switch 2 and even play it from a new perspective. As CD Projekt Red explains, the system's advantages will be available. This primarily refers to the innovative Joy-Con 2 controllers. Motion control and the gyroscope mode should then be able to be used in the role-playing game, providing real added value.
Also coming are graphics-intensive games like EA SPORTS Madden NFL and EA SPORTS FC, FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE, Streetfighter 6, and Hogwarts Legacy. Borderlands 4 will also be released for Nintendo Switch 2, as the company announced. Also coming to the console are HITMAN World of Assassination – Signature Edition and Elden Rind in the "Tarnished Edition," which includes Shadow of the Erdtree.
The lineup announced so far suggests that Nintendo will be pursuing more than just a family-friendly software program. Third-party games, in particular, sometimes fall into the "adults only" category. The Nintendo Switch 2 is therefore likely to be seen as a much more all-around console than the original version.
