Here is every Switch 2 game available on day one

The Nintendo Switch 2 officially launches this week. Ahead of the release on June 5th, Nintendo has now confirmed every Switch 2 game that will be available on day one, along with the Switch 1 titles getting day-one updates for the new console.

Naturally, Mario Kart World is the first game on the list. While this title began development in 2017 for the original Switch console, the scope of the game grew so much that the team opted to save it for Nintendo's next-gen hardware. The game is the first in the series to offer open-world gameplay – it is essentially Mario meets Forza Horizon, but with the usual arcade-style gameplay we all know and love.

Here is the full list of new games available for Switch 2 on June 5th:

• Mario Kart World
• Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour (please don't buy this one)
• Street Fighter 6
• Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster
• Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition
• Yakuza 0 Director's Cut
• Fortnite
• Split Fiction
• Fast Fusion
• Hogwarts Legacy
• HITMAN: World of Assassination Signature Edition
• Sonic x Shadows Generations
• Deltarune
• Suikoden I & II HD and Dunan Unification Wars
• Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S
• Arcade Archives 2 Ridge Racer
• Survival Kids
• Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess
• NOBUNAGA'S AMBITION: Awakening Complete Edition

Alongside these titles, new ‘Nintendo Switch 2 Edition' versions of older titles will also be available on day-one. You can either buy the game at full price, or if you own the Switch 1 version of these titles, you can buy a cheaper ‘upgrade pack'. At launch, there will be four of these games available, including:

• The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
• The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
• Sid Meier's Civilization VII
• Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma

If you had a Switch 1 and you want to know which of your older games will be updated for the Switch 2 for free, then look no further. The following Switch 1 games will be updated with support for the Switch 2's more powerful hardware:

• Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
• New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe
• Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury
• Super Mario Odyssey
• The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

Nintendo has already confirmed a few major third-party games coming to Nintendo Switch 2 later in the year, like Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade and Star Wars Outlaws. Later this summer, we expect to see a new Nintendo Direct with more Switch 2 game announcements for the console's first year on the market.
