Perhaps the most anticipated Switch 2 launch game is Mario Kart World. For good reason, too, as we certainly came away impressed after spending some time with the game. In TechRadar's Mario Kart World preview, Hardware Editor Rhys Wood praised the game's seamless open world and the new Knockout Tour mode.

A Nintendo Switch 2 version of Tears of the Kingdom arrives on June 5, promising upgraded visuals and performance. In TechRadar's Nintendo Switch 2 preview, hardware editor Rhys Wood had this to say about the new versions:

"Playing it (Breath of the Wild) and Tears of the Kingdom at a rock-solid 4K 60fps on console feels like it’s not real. But it is on Switch 2. Both games also have drastically sharper image quality, meaning they’re absolutely the definitive version of each release."

Street Fighter 6

We absolutely adored Street Fighter 6 on PS5, and it looks like we're in for a similar experience on Switch 2. TechRadar even previewed it during our Switch 2 hands-on finding that "It maintained a solid 60fps throughout gameplay and felt as responsive (and loaded just as quickly) as versions on those other systems."

Deltarune

Deltarune will release its next two chapters alongside a full release on Nintendo Switch 2. This one is from the creator of Undertale and features a story that runs in parallel to 2015's beloved cult RPG.

Split Fiction is one of our favorite games of 2025 so far, building on team Hazellight's previous titles to deliver a truly explosive co-op experience. In TechRadar Gaming's Split Fiction review, we said that "It packs an array of captivating mini-games into a linear, yet highly rewarding platformer, laced with Hazelight’s trademark storytelling to keep you on your moral toes."

Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour

Hitman World of Assassination bundles the three main Hitman games, their DLCs, as well as a whole heap of extra content. The Nintendo Switch 2 is getting a Signature Edition, which features some Mario-themed cosmetics for those who pre-order the game.

Personally, I'm extremely excited to take Hitman on the go in portable mode. Being able to chip away at Freelancer Mode while commuting sounds like a dream, as does trying out time trial challenges for levels like Sapienza and the Berlin techno club-set "Apex Predator" mission.
