Nintendo's page for the compatibility test for Nintendo Switch games on the Switch 2 was updated on Tuesday. More than 15,000 games have been confirmed as having no issues when playing on the new Switch, but those that haven't been verified will need some additional updates or simply will never work with the Switch 2.

UPDATE 28/05/25: Nintendo has updated its list of backwards compatible games for the Nintendo Switch 2 and it has removed some of the games that were previously marked as incompatible. There’s now 118 games that have start-up issues, 50 games that have some in-game compatibility issues and 54 games that will be resolved by launch or shortly after.
