The Switch 2 got off to a roaring start, but the original Switch family of consoles wasn't forgotten about this year, as Nintendo ensured several of its biggest releases were also playable on it. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Pokemon Legends: Z-A were playable on the older hardware,"
"Between those new releases and expanded versions of old favorites, we also saw third-party games launch for the Switch 2. Developers like Ubisoft and CD Projekt Red delivered high-quality versions of Star Wars Outlaws and Cyberpunk 2077 to the hybrid console, while indie studios focused on gameplay over raw visual horsepower to stand out from the pack. More of a transitional year than a revolutionary one when compared to"
2025 saw Nintendo debut the Switch 2 while continuing strong support for the original Switch hardware. Major first-party releases such as Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Pokemon Legends: Z-A remained playable on older consoles, and legacy titles including The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom received Switch 2 upgrades. Third-party publishers delivered polished ports to the hybrid platform, with Ubisoft and CD Projekt Red bringing Star Wars Outlaws and Cyberpunk 2077. Indie studios emphasized gameplay over graphical fidelity to differentiate their releases. The year functioned as a cautious transitional period building on previous console successes.
