Ahead of the Switch 2's June release, Nintendo has publicly released a list of over 15,000 games that it is currently working on getting to run well, if at all, on the new system, with one completely incompatible.

The details:

  • On a new page dedicated to highlighting the backwards compatibility of Switch 1 games on the upcoming console, the company has shared a list of over 15,000 titles, with the majority said to be fully functional. However, a number of third-party releases fail to start properly or encounter other issues in-game, with more requiring additional testing.

  • Some of the most notable games include Warframe, Rocket League, Fortnite, and Dead by Daylight. For almost all of the games, Nintendo simply states that the "issue is being investigated" with no explanations as to why the issues have arisen, while Fortnite has been noted as having a Switch 2 version on the way.

  • The list of games that run but have other in-game issues includes Alien: Isolation, Fall Guys, Alan Wake Remastered, and Factorio. As with the previous list, Nintendo has provided no additional details and is currently investigating all issues.

  • However, it has been confirmed that the Nintendo Labo Toy-Con VR kit, which includes the Switch's DIY cardboard VR goggles, is completely incompatible with the Switch 2 as the console cannot be inserted into them. The news isn't surprising given that the Switch 2 is larger than the original Switch, but it appears that the other three Labo kits may still be compatible.
