Better hardware means that players can expect some of the best video games around to eventually make their way onto the Nintendo Switch 2. This includes some of the best Xbox Series X games that will be a blast to play on this powerful handheld console.

7 Starfield

Bethesda's Newest Game Shouldn't Be All That Taxing To Run On The New Switch's Hardware

Starfield divided fans when it launched, with an over-reliance on loading screens and fast travel making it hard to get immersed in the act of being a spacefarer. However, fans of Bethesda's sandbox structure still had a great time playing through a brand-new IP with some unique additions.

With Skyrim being a hit on the Switch, it's easy to see why fans wouldn't mind Starfield being ported on this console too. The game doesn't boast state-of-the-art visuals and may be easier to port than other AAA entries.

6 Psychonauts 2

Platforming In Creative Worlds Is A Blast And Would Be Perfect For The Switch 2

Psychonauts is one of the best platformers players can get their hands on, and the sequel offers more of the same. Razputin's mind-bending adventures are as entertaining as ever, with players loving how imaginative the levels could be.

Given how the Nintendo Switch is a hub of great platformers and the new console would boast the same reputation, Psychonauts 2 would be a perfect fit for this console. If anything, a collection of the two Psychonauts games would be right at home on the Nintendo Switch 2.

5 Hi-Fi Rush

A Beautiful Rhythm-Action Game That Would Be A Natural Fit On Nintendo's Newest Console

It's a shame to see how Microsoft treated Tango Gameworks despite the amazing work they've done on games like The Evil Within and Hi-Fi Rush. The latter was a bonafide game of the year contender, but its many accolades didn't stop Microsoft from shuttering the studio.

Hi-Fi Rush relies on stylized visuals and a compelling action gameplay loop to keep fans engaged. This makes it a great candidate for a port on the Switch 2 for players to enjoy the cathartic combat on the fly.

4 Sea Of Thieves

A Multiplayer Pirate Fantasy That Players Will Love To Play On The Go

One of Xbox's biggest successes that took a while to make a huge splash, Sea of Thieves is perfect for players who want to sail the high seas and become a pirate with their friends. The title provides many opportunities for players to experience emergent gameplay as they engage in ship combat before boarding enemy crafts in a cutthroat battle.

The social aspect of this game would be perfect for Nintendo Switch 2 fans who want to enjoy more multiplayer games on this console. Players will love forming a crew with their friends and checking out the many ways Sea of Thieves will keep them occupied.

3 Valheim

A Popular Survival Title That Switch 2 Owners Will Have A Great Time Playing

Valheim is one of the most popular survival games that has taken the world by storm. The promise of exploring numerous unique biomes while interacting with unique survival systems is something that players will have a great time with.

With this title blowing up, it's easy to see why Nintendo Switch 2 players would love to check out this title on a new and upgraded handheld. Regardless of whether players check out the game on the go or dock the Switch 2 to spend a long time engaging with Valheim's systems, the title will cater to both playstyles with ease.

2 Deathloop

Controlling An Assassin In A Time Loop And Trying To Make The Most On Each Run Could Be Fun On The New Switch

The time loop in Deathloop makes it important for players to make each run count, helping them figure out the best way to approach each target and take them out without drawing too much attention. Colt's powers will slowly evolve throughout the game to make it easier for him to assassinate the targets on the island and finally escape this loop.

Incremental progress can be frustrating if players have spent hours in a run only for them to fail, but the portable nature of the Switch 2 can let players approach this game differently. This can avoid the irritation that players would feel otherwise and help them slowly but surely conquer the obstacles set for them in Deathloop.

1 Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2

Boasts Impressive Graphical Fidelity, But That Didn't Stop The Witcher 3 From Running On The Switch

Hellblade 2 is one of the prettiest games on the Xbox Series X, boasting impressive visuals that push the console to its very limits. It's easy to see why this game may be an unlikely candidate for a Switch 2 port, but it's not totally out of the question.

After all, the fact that The Witcher 3 is running on the Switch means that Hellblade 2 can be dedicatedly optimized for the new console. Players will love witnessing a continuation of Senua's compelling story on this new console if this port becomes a reality.
