- Insider NateTheHate claims that Switch 2 third-party support is improving this year,
- Titles like Expedition 33, Metaphor: ReFantazio, and Final Fantasy 16 are arriving on Switch 2 soon.
- He further predicts DOOM: The Dark Ages, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Resident Evil remakes for the handheld.
The Nintendo Switch 2 is a capable console, and despite being powerful enough to run AAA games, one of the biggest complaints about the handheld has been the lack of third-party support.
That concern might soon be addressed, as Nintendo is busy in the background, aiming to bring more third-party games to its platform, according to a new report that claims Expedition 33, Metaphor: ReFantazio, and Final Fantasy 16 ports for the Switch 2 are coming soon.
Why it matters: Handhelds are more popular than they’ve ever been, and largely due to their capabilities of running modern-day AAA releases. In this regard, the Switch 2 has been lagging behind due to a lack of support.
This claim comes from insider NateTheHate, who has a near-perfect track record when it comes to leaks. In his new podcast discussing Nintendo’s plans for 2026, he said that third-party support is improving.
Titles like Expedition 33 will be coming to Switch 2 in 2026. Other games that I’ve heard of will include Atlus with Metaphor Refantasio will be coming to Switch 2 in 2026.
The insider further added.
Another game from Square Enix that I’ve heard is under consideration. And I don’t know if it’ll necessarily come out this year, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s announced this year is Final Fantasy 16.
Expedition 33 arriving for Switch 2 was just a matter of time, considering its massive success, becoming the most awarded GOTY game ever. For Metaphor: ReFantazio, the title was already rumoured for a Nintendo release.
Final Fantasy has also been expanding its horizons onto other platforms after Square Enix claimed exclusivity is outdated. As such, it makes sense for a Final Fantasy 16 Switch 2 release. Also, future Final Fantasy titles will launch simultaneously across all platforms.
That isn’t all, though. The insider further predicts that DOOM: The Dark Ages, Red Dead Redemption 2, Resident Evil 2/3/4 Remake, and more could also arrive on the Switch 2.
