New Nintendo Switch games are looking fairly sparse in the coming months, no doubt because of the system nearing the very end of its life cycle. As such, we're in a bit of a purgatory, with very few confirmed Switch games planned for release until we hear more about the Switch 2.

While Nintendo is clearly in the process of switching gears as it readies the Switch 2, there are still a few big releases still to come for the current model. These include a new Metroid Prime game, as well as a new version of Patapon 1 +2.

It could be a while before we hear about new Nintendo first party games, and what the big titles releasing in the latter half of 2025 will be. For now, here’s a list of upcoming Nintendo Switch games, set to arrive by the end of 2025. Perhaps some of them may even make it into our list of best Switch games by the end of the year!

Here's what you'll be playing on your Nintendo Switch in April!

  • Promise Mascot Agency – April 10
  • Star Overdrive – April 10
  • Monument Valley 1 +2 - April 15
  • Rusty Rabbit – April 17
  • Tempopo – April 17

As you can see, the upcoming Switch line-up is looking rather light at the moment. This is likely due to the fact that we'll be getting the Switch 2 at some point in 2025. We're expecting Nintendo to reveal many more games once the new console has been fully revealed, which is set to happen during a Direct in April. While you wait, read how we've analyzed every frame of the new Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart game footage, and everything we found.
