Elden Ring Confirmed for Switch 2 – Play it This Year

Apr 02, 2025 1:35 PM

Elden Ring, the critically acclaimed action RPG from FromSoftware, is confirmed to be released on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. Initially launched in 2022 for various platforms, the game notably skipped the Switch due to hardware limitations. However, the presentation showcased gameplay footage running on the Switch 2, set to feature an edition known as the Tarnished Edition this year. This announcement marks a significant move as it opens up the possibility for more FromSoftware titles to hit Nintendo platforms in the future, attracting millions of Nintendo fans to the Elden Ring universe.

When is Elden Ring coming to the Nintendo Switch 2?

Elden Ring is expected to arrive on the Nintendo Switch 2 sometime in 2025, though an exact release date has not yet been provided.

Elden Ring, celebrated for its expansive open-world design and deep lore, has garnered immense popularity since its launch, partly due to its collaborative world-building contributions from George R.R. Martin. The Switch 2, expected to offer enhanced performance and upgraded features compared to its predecessor, might transform how players experience this engaging title on the go, marking an exciting new chapter for both the game and Nintendo's console lineup.
