The Nintendo Switch 2 is less than a month away, and Nintendo have detailed how each Nintendo Switch game receiving a free update for Switch 2 will be enhanced, and what features will come with each release. We’re going to break them down for you, hopefully making them a little easier to read and comprehend.
There are a total of 11 games receiving free updates. Here’s what each game is getting updated with, and keep in mind that all of these updates release on June 5 along with the Nintendo Switch 2!
- 51 Worldwide Games – GameShare support added so up to four people can play 34 of the games together, either local or online via GameChat

It’s interesting that all of these software updates are listed with individual release dates on the official Nintendo website despite the fact that they’re all releasing on the same day. Perhaps this suggests that more free updates could be coming which would have different release dates scheduled.
That’s all of the Switch game enhancements that are confirmed to be coming free on day one of the Switch 2’s release. What other original Switch games do you want to see get free updates next?
