A new industry report suggests that two major Star Wars games could be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2, potentially strengthening the console’s upcoming third-party lineup. While Nintendo has confirmed several first-party releases, Switch 2 owners are still waiting to see broader AAA support.
According to the report, Disney is pushing for more Star Wars titles to appear on Nintendo’s next-generation hardware, including games that previously skipped the original Switch entirely.
Star Wars Jedi Games Reportedly In Development For Switch 2
The report claims that Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor are both in development for Nintendo Switch 2. Neither game has ever been released on a Nintendo platform.
If accurate, this would mark the first time Nintendo players can access Respawn Entertainment’s Star Wars Jedi series, which is widely regarded as one of the strongest modern Star Wars game franchises.
Why These Star Wars Ports Make Sense
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order launched in 2019 on last-generation consoles and PC, later receiving next-gen upgrades. Its technical footprint suggests it should scale well to Nintendo Switch 2 hardware.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor debuted in 2023 with higher system demands, but it later received performance optimizations and downgraded versions for older consoles. Those changes could make a Switch 2 version viable.
Disney’s Growing Push For Switch 2 Support
The report aligns with a broader trend of Disney expanding its presence on Nintendo Switch 2 following the positive reception of recent Star Wars ports. Sources suggest Disney wants future Star Wars games to reach as many platforms as possible.
This strategy could result in both legacy Star Wars titles and newer releases arriving on Switch 2 over time, giving Nintendo users access to franchises previously locked to other ecosystems.
What This Means For The Switch 2 Lineup
Nintendo’s early Switch 2 lineup currently leans heavily on first-party games and mid-scale third-party releases. Adding AAA Star Wars games could help address concerns about limited launch-window variety.
For players who skipped these titles on PlayStation, Xbox, or PC, the rumored ports could arrive at an ideal time, especially with a third Star Wars Jedi game already confirmed to be in development.
What’s Next
No release dates have been mentioned, and neither Nintendo, Electronic Arts, nor Respawn Entertainment has confirmed the report. As with any leak, the information should be treated cautiously until official announcements are made.
If confirmed, these ports could signal a larger wave of high-profile third-party games making their way to Nintendo Switch 2 in the near future.
