Popular Nintendo Switch Game Reportedly Receiving an Upgrade for Switch 2
A recent report has sparked excitement among Nintendo fans, suggesting that a beloved Nintendo Switch game is set to receive an upgraded port for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. While the exact release date for the highly anticipated console remains under wraps, it is expected to hit the shelves sometime this year.
Nintendo has yet to reveal any details about the games set to launch alongside the Switch 2, leaving fans speculating about what the console’s debut year will bring. Rumors have hinted at several potential titles, including a new Pokémon game, a revised version of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Metroid Prime 4, and a new installment in the Mario Kart series. There is also chatter about a new 3D Mario game, which could serve as the flagship launch title, much like Breath of the Wild did for the original Switch.
Recent reports suggest that the Switch 2’s launch lineup might surpass that of its predecessor, thanks in part to increased third-party support. One notable example of this support could come from Hello Games, with insider Nash Weedle claiming that No Man’s Sky is being upgraded for the new console. Although a specific release date for this upgraded port has not been mentioned, it is expected to be available around the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2.
No Man’s Sky, an action-adventure sandbox survival game, made its debut in 2016. Despite facing initial criticism and controversy, Hello Games’ continued support and updates transformed it into a remarkable success story. The game remains popular even in 2025, making the possibility of its upgraded port for the Switch 2 an exciting prospect for fans.
As with all rumors, this information should be taken with caution. Neither Hello Games nor Nintendo has confirmed the details. Should either party comment on the rumor, further updates will be provided.
