- The Star Wars Jedi games are reportedly releasing on Nintendo Switch 2 thanks to a new Disney mandate.
- Disney wants all video games affiliated with its brands to launch on the handheld.
- Hence, future Star Wars titles could also be playable on the Switch 2.
Nintendo Switch 2 has had a debut year to remember so far, with the console even outselling Nintendo’s initial sales expectations. The handheld was a massive hit during the holiday season, selling 220,000 units in Japan alone last week.
With 10 million consoles already shipped worldwide, the Nintendo Switch 2 is expected to reach 20 million sales in its first year. If rumors are true, the console is about to get a couple of new Star Wars games to help it achieve this goal.
Why it matters: The Star Wars Jedi titles contain some of the franchise’s best work, and a Switch 2 port could be magical to behold.
Insider Nash Weedle has revealed that Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor are set to release on the Nintendo Switch 2 in the near future. According to the insider, Disney wants all video games linked to its brands released on the handheld.
Hence, this could also mean that future Star Wars titles, such as the recently announced Fate of the Old Republic and EA’s Star Wars Jedi: 3 could launch on the Nintendo Switch 2.
Nash Weedle successfully leaked Metroid Prime 4 back in 2021, while also announcing Mario and Luigi’s return in May 2024 before Nintendo. In addition, the insider correctly predicted the Nintendo Direct held this July, indicating he has some credibility regarding Nintendo-related topics.
The handheld has already received a Star Wars game in the form of Ubisoft’s Star Wars: Outlaws, which was a technical success on the platform, running much better than many expected.
The Nintendo Switch 2 has proved to be an admirable device for graphic-heavy AAA titles so far. Resident Evil Requiem, which is supposed to launch in 2026, is already displaying impressive ray tracing on the handheld.
With titles like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Starfield also expected to drop on the Nintendo Switch 2, the Star Wars Jedi games will certainly have some AAA competition on the platform.
