The Nintendo Switch has been a runaway success, proving that raw power is not the be-all and end-all for consoles. Through a combination of Nintendo's first-party games, a solid selection of triple-A third-party titles, and all the indie projects anyone could ever want, the Switch has amassed a stellar library that can match most platforms in terms of quality and quantity.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey are two of the greatest games of the last decade, and they debuted within the Switch's debut year. There is also always a chance that the best Switch game has yet to be released. In just 2023, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Metroid Prime Remastered, Pikmin 4, Super Mario Wonder, and Advance Wars 1 + 2: Re-Boot Camp were all console exclusives. 2024 had quite a few exclusives as well, including games centering around Princess Peach and Zelda. Mario even received two RPGs.

Even though the Nintendo Switch 2 is now available, its predecessor is not disappearing just yet. Here's a look at all the major titles we can expect to see on the Nintendo Switch in 2025 and beyond. Which big Nintendo Switch games have release dates? Please note that the focus is on North American release dates.

Only games for the original Nintendo Switch are included. The Switch 2 has its own article.

Tron, System Shock, & More

At the moment, June does not seem set to be a particularly strong moment for Nintendo Switch games, which makes sense since all eyes will be on the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2. Still, that system's predecessor will be receiving new games. The biggest title announced is Tron: Catalyst, an action-adventure project set within Disney's franchise. That said, System Shock 2 remastered has also been announced, which is a major deal since the immersive sim is considered an all-time great game.

Switch Games Coming In July 2025

Tony Hawk, Hunter x Hunter, Lord of the Rings, & More

As the month after the Nintendo Switch 2 debuts, July 2025 seems destined to be an afterthought for the original console, especially since quite a few titles will likely land on the new hardware as well. Still, Switch owners have projects that they can look forward to, and July could end up being among the better months of the year when everything is said and done.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 should be a blast of nostalgia, and both titles are considered masterpieces of their genre.

Switch Games Coming In August 2025

Shinobi, Story of Seasons, Demon Slayer, & More

It remains to be seen whether the Switch is still remotely relevant by August 2025. Regardless of what happens, a few Switch 2025 games are confirmed for the month, so it is not like the console will be completely discontinued by this point.

Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles 2 is largely for die-hard fans of the anime and manga, but the first game was a solid arena fighter. Speaking of anime, Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road looks pretty good and should be a considerable step-up from older entries in the series. Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar should hit the mark with farming life sim fans, while Shinobi: Art of Vengeance revives a classic IP in style.

  • August 5: Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles 2 (PC, PS5, PS4, Switch, XBX/S, XBO)

Major 2025 Nintendo Switch Games With No Release Dates Or Post-August Debuts

Metroid Prime, Little Nightmares, & More

2025 has a long way to go before reaching its final form, and only a handful of months have any titles at all. However, quite a few Nintendo Switch games have announced plans to debut within the year, even if they have opted to hold back on specific dates. Assuming it comes out, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond could very well be the console's biggest game of 2025, and "the console" qualifier might be unnecessary. Little Nightmares 3 will introduce co-op to the platform-horror series. The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 1st and Mouse: PI For Hire all look great.
