April looks like a solid month for the Switch 2, even without any big exclusive games. Nintendo’s console will get Pragmata at the same time as PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox, which shows it’s now a strong choice for playing games from multiple developers. Plus, High on Life 2 is launching on the Switch 2 on April 20th, after a slight delay.
Among the games launching on the console in April, MOUSE: P.I. For Hire stands out as particularly exciting. This shooter boasts a striking visual style inspired by 1930s cartoons. Players can also look forward to Amnesia: Rebirth, Outbound, and Fortnite: Save the World, all coming to the Switch 2.

May 2026 Switch 2 Games Release Dates
Yoshi, Lego Batman, 007 First Light, Indiana Jones, & More
Nintendo Switch 2 owners have a lot to look forward to in May, with the release of what’s likely to be the year’s biggest exclusive game so far: Yoshi and the Mysterious Book. This side-scrolling adventure is expected to be enjoyable for players of all ages, from kids to adults.
As a gamer, May looks pretty awesome! I’m really excited about 007 First Light – it’s been ages since we’ve had a new James Bond game, and it sounds like they’re really going all out with it. Plus, Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is going to be a blast, pulling from everything we love about Batman in the comics, movies, and other games. And it’s not just those two – we’re also getting Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Tales of Arise, and a revamped Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP this month! It’s shaping up to be a great month for gaming.

The Switch 2 is still new, so its future is exciting but a little unclear. We have a glimpse of some major games coming in the next year or two, like The Duskbloods, which is expected in 2026.
