We're about a month away from the Nintendo Switch 2's launch on June 5. The highly anticipated new console offers big upgrades over the original Switch, including the ability to play games at 4K resolution and up to 120fps, a larger screen with HDR and VRR support, redesigned Joy-Con 2 Controllers that can even work as mice, and more. But as exciting as the new hardware is, the real draw is the new games--and the Switch 2 already has a stacked lineup of titles available to preorder, including all-new first-party exclusives like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza, and big third-party releases like Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition, Yakuza 0: Director's Cut, Madden 26, and more.
We've rounded up all the Switch 2 game available to preorder below. While many will be available alongside the Switch 2 on June 5, several are also launching in the weeks and months following--so whether you've already secured your Switch 2 console preorder, or you're planning to pick one up later, you've got plenty of games to look forward to. After reading about the games, you should also check out our roundup of first-party Nintendo Switch 2 accessories as well as our story detailing why you can only find third-party Switch 2 products on Amazon.
While plenty of Switch 2 games are available to preorder, there are even more releases planned to launch in 2025 that haven't gone up for preorder yet. This includes several games that will be available on launch day, including:
Some of the games listed above will only be available digitally via the new Switch 2 eShop (such as Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour), while others will get physical boxed releases as well. We'll be sure to add those games to the list below once preorders are live.
Along with the new Switch 2 launch games, Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers will also be able to access a selection of classic GameCube games on launch day, including The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker and Soulcalibur 2.
Of course, you'll also be able to play (most of) your previously purchased physical and digital Switch 1 games on Switch 2--and some will even have free upgrades.
These launch-day releases are just a portion of the Switch 2 games you can look forward to, such as Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Hyrule Warriors: The Imprisoning War, Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition, Final Fantasy VII: Remake Intergrade, and more. Be sure to check our list of announced Switch 2 games to see them all.
