These are the over 150 Nintendo Switch games that won’t be fully compatible with Switch 2 at launch
Nintendo has released an initial list but assures users that it is investigating the issues.
Nintendo Switch 2 will be backward compatible with most titles from the previous console. However, Nintendo has already indicated that certain games won’t work on the new hardware, while others may experience compatibility issues or fail to launch entirely. The company has shared two separate lists on its website: one for games that have trouble launching and another for games that start but might encounter errors. Unfortunately, Nintendo has not clarified the degree of incompatibility but has emphasized that it is actively investigating the matter.
Among the games listed are DOOM Eternal, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, and Rocket League. Fortnite is also on the list, but Epic Games is preparing a specific version for Nintendo Switch 2.
