February Is Packed with Game Releases After the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase!

Nintendo's Partner Direct revealed new releases, ports, demos, and free upgrades for over 30 third-party Switch and Switch 2 games launching throughout 2026.

  • On February 5, 2026, Nintendo hosted its first major presentation of the year, a roughly 30‑minute Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase revealing over 30 games for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
  • The Partner Direct gave third‑party developers a chance to showcase plans for the next twelve months, and the event was dominated by third‑party announcements with little-to-no Nintendo first‑party news.
  • Among immediate rollouts, Nintendo confirmed Tokyo Scramble arrives exclusively on Switch 2 on February 11, and a Pragmata demo is live today ahead of April 24 release, with ports like Fallout 4 on February 24 and Resident Evil Requiem on February 27.
  • The stream's slate of ports and big franchises means Hollow Knight: Silksong owners get a free Switch 2 upgrade now, reshaping the 2026 lineup with major releases on Switch and Switch 2.
  • Looking farther ahead, Valheim will arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 with 10‑player online play, and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is confirmed for June 3, 2026.
