Complete List of Nintendo Switch Games That Won’t Work on the Switch 2

Nintendo has confirmed which OG Nintendo Switch games will have issues running on the new Nintendo Switch 2 when it launches on June 5, 2025.

In lists published to the official Nintendo website, the company has revealed which games have “start up issues” on Nintendo Switch 2, and which games can start up but have “some in-game compatibility issues.”

Perhaps unsurprisingly, there’s very little detail at this stage about each individual game’s issue — most games simply say the problem is “being investigated” — but while it’s to be expected that some games may struggle to make use of Switch 2’s new hardware features, the list does include some surprising titles, including Rocket League, Pizza Tower, Warframe, Fall Guys, and NBA 2K25.

Interestingly, Fortnite is also included on the list, but Nintendo also revealed a bespoke Nintendo Switch 2 version is on the way.
