All Switch 2 launch games coming day one

The Switch 2 launch games lineup encompasses a bit more than just a new Mario Kart.

When Nintendo formally unveiled the long-rumored Switch 2 in January, there was very little idea of what to expect at launch. Now that the June 5 Switch 2 release date is on the horizon, we have a fuller idea of what’s coming to the console on day one.

Yes, there’s a new Mario Kart called Mario Kart World, but there’s also sort-of-tech-demo Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour from Nintendo, and a number of significant third-party ports making their Nintendo debuts — including Street Fighter 6, Cyberpunk 2077, and Split Fiction.

If none of that takes your fancy, remember backward compatibility supports your original Switch library, while a number of Switch 1 games, including both Switch 1 Zelda games, will also get dedicated “Nintendo Switch 2 Editions” with visual upgrades. We’ve included these editions as part of the line-up below.
