Nintendo Switch 2 Games
FAQ
Games designed exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2 cannot be played on an original Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch Lite. Check the platform information on the packaging or product listing to confirm which console a game supports.
Nintendo Switch 2 games come as digital downloads and physical releases. Some physical releases use game-key cards, which require an internet connection to download the game before you can play. The game-key card must be inserted into the console whenever you play that game.
Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games combine an original Nintendo Switch game with enhancements for Nintendo Switch 2. These may include updated graphics, additional features or new content, depending on the title. If you already own the original game, an upgrade pack may let you access the enhanced edition on Nintendo Switch 2.
Many games require a Nintendo Switch Online membership for online multiplayer, although some titles are exempt. Offline single-player and local multiplayer generally do not require a membership. Check each game's requirements for details about its online features.
Many Nintendo Switch 2 games support all three play modes, but support varies by title. Some games or features may require detached controllers or particular accessories. Check the supported play modes and controller requirements to find games that suit how you like to play.
