All Switch Exclusives and Upgrade Packs

As well as playing nearly all games for the original console, the next Nintendo system will have its own tailor-made Switch 2 games you can't can't play anywhere else, alongside all the multiplatform releases and ports.

So, in order to both guide you and to stoke the internal hype fires even further (as if that were possible), we've put together this handy quick list of all Switch 2-exclusive games that have been announced thus far.

And beneath the list, you'll find some extra details for all the ones announced prior to launch, too. Let's go!

Every video game release exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2 - Full List

Here's a list of every Switch 2 exclusive, by order of release:

Looking for a little more info, some trailers and the like for the unreleased ones? We're happy to oblige.

Kirby Air Riders (20th November 2025)

It's Kirby Kart! Sort of. Kirby Air Riders is a racer, alright, but this one sees you and pals "air ride" on hovercrafts of varying shapes and sizes around some incredibly lush-looking courses! We are hyped for this one.

Kirby Air Riders originates from the Nintendo GameCube classic racing-action game Kirby Air Ride, and it's also directed by Masahiro Sakurai.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment (Winter 2025)

The epic battles of the Imprisoning Wars, in a story that leads into the events of Tears of the Kingdom! We love the Hyrule Warrior games, even if they are a little bit of an acquired taste, and this new one should deal with the biggest issue they've had thus far, performance issues on the OG Switch.

We're looking forward to smoothly slicing and dicing our foes as a whole roster of heroes from Hyrule when Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment drops.

The Duskbloods (TBC 2026)

FromSoftware dropping what looked like Bloodborne 2 for a second, and a Switch 2 exclusive no less? Did anyone else almost faint?

The Duskbloods is a PvPvE game from the creators of the Soulslike genre, and even though the idea of multiplayer does put us off a little - we are gonna put our trust in the team, we know they can create magic, come up with unique new mechanics, and utilise online aspects in very clever ways...so we are psyched.

And what a boon for the console, to have such a prestige and "grown-up" exclusive to add to its lineup almost straight away.

Splatoon Raiders (TBC)

Of course Splatoon is coming to Switch 2, but it's coming with a big twist. Splatoon Raiders looks to be a more single-player-focused entry as opposed to the usual multiplayer madness that we're used to.

We know virtually nothing about this one — the trailer was randomly dropped on Nintendo Today! one afternoon — but we do know that we'll be playing as the 'Mechanic' and teaming up with Splatoon 3's Deep Cut. More should be coming soon, whenever that is, so keep your eyes peeled.
