6 Must-Play New Games Arriving on Switch 2 in June 2026

While industry veterans typically spend June anticipating major industry showcases like E3 or Summer Game Fest, this year, Switch 2 owners have plenty to keep them occupied. The release calendar for the month is remarkably packed.

The spotlight is undoubtedly on the triumphant return of a legendary Nintendo franchise. Beyond that, the lineup is bolstered by an essential AAA conversion, an immersive action-RPG, a quirky indie standout, and a handful of compelling titles making their way to the platform throughout the month.

1
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

Release date: June 3

Square Enix is moving quickly to bring Switch 2 owners up to speed with the ambitious Final Fantasy 7 remake saga. After January’s impressive debut of Remake, the sequel, Rebirth, arrives with even greater scale. Featuring sprawling open zones and a massive array of side activities, this title is a must-play experience that defined the standard on consoles. With the third installment on the horizon, now is the perfect time to dive in.

2
To a T

Release date: June 11

From the whimsical imagination of Katamari Damacy creator Keita Takahashi comes this charmingly bizarre narrative about a teenager eternally locked in a T-pose. An overlooked gem upon its initial release, To a T offers a heartfelt, surreal meditation on identity and difference. Expect to encounter everything from talking dogs and avian journalism to gravity-defying flight and surreal mushroom forests in this unique journey.

3
Denshattack!

Release date: June 17

Barcelona-based studio Undercoders has delivered a brilliant concept: a high-speed train game that treats railway cars like skateboards. Set in a stylized, post-apocalyptic Japan, this title allows you to perform grinds and kickflips with a locomotive, echoing the energy of cult classics like Jet Set Radio. Denshattack! is as innovative as it is frantic.

4
The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales

Release date: June 18

Square Enix continues to lean into its gorgeous HD-2D aesthetic with this original action-RPG. Unlike the turn-based pace of Octopath Traveler, Elliot leans into fast-paced, hack-and-slash combat. With a time-travel narrative reminiscent of Chrono Trigger and echoes of classic Zelda and Mana entries, it’s a modern homage to the golden age of RPGs.

5
Wanderstop

Release date: June 23

Following the unfortunate closure of developer Ivy Road, the arrival of Wanderstop on the Switch family of systems carries a bittersweet resonance. This thoughtful, cozy experience centers on a battle-weary warrior seeking redemption through the quiet, meditative life of a tea shop proprietor. It is an evocative and touching look at the process of recovering from burnout.

6
Star Fox

Release date: June 26

The centerpiece of the month is an expansive, ground-up remake of Star Fox 64 for the Switch 2. This definitive version of the arcade-style space shooter brings the classic Lylat System conflict to life with breathtaking visuals and a sweeping, newly orchestrated score. It is an essential showcase of what the hardware can do and a true love letter to one of Miyamoto’s most enduring creations.
