Nintendo Switch 2 Games: Full Confirmed List (2025)

Which games are confirmed as Nintendo Switch 2 launch titles?

Nintendo has confirmed 5 epic new games that are coming to the Nintendo Switch 2. Below, you’ll find the full list of confirmed Switch 2 games:

1. Mario Kart World

Of course, a new Nintendo console wouldn’t be complete without a new Mario Kart game. Mario Kart World releases on the same day as the Switch, June 5. The game comes with a bunch of exciting updates: an open world concept, 24-driver races, knockout tours and more! Oh, and did we mention that you can play as the Moo Moo Meadows Cow?

2. Kirby Air Riders

More than 20 years after Kirby Air Ride was released on the GameCube, we get a second instalment to this adorable racing game. Kirby Air Riders is a racing game featuring iconic Kirby characters and is set to release later this year. 

3. Donkey Kong Bananza 

We can’t forget about Donkey Kong! The iconic gorilla with a tie is coming to the Switch 2 with an open world 3D adventure. The trailer shows Kong in loads of different worlds, ranging from snowy mountaintops to colourful flower fields. Donkey Kong Bananza releases on July 17.

4. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment 

Just like Breath of the Wild, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is getting a Hyrule Warriors edition. Age of Imprisonment follows the events that took place before Tears of the Kingdom when princess Zelda was transported to the past. The game is set to release in the winter of 2025. 

5. Drag X Drive 

In the Switch 2 Overview trailer, we saw that the new Joy-Cons support mouse control. One game that really makes the most of this new feature is Drag X Drive. It’s a basketball game where all the characters are in a wheelchair. You control this wheelchair by using your Joy-Cons like a mouse. Drag x Drive is set to release in the summer of this year.

Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour: Switch 2 introduction game

Nintendo is also releasing an introductory game for the Switch 2. The game is a fun way to get familiar with the new console and to discover all its secrets. The Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour releases together with the Switch 2, and it’ll cost about £5.22.
