The Nintendo Switch 2 launched withan impressive catalogue of backwards compatible games. Almost every title from the original console can be played on the newer hardware, making the transition between generations almost seamless.
However, there are, of course, games that don’t work on Switch 2 yet, and others that technically do, but are plagued with issues. Thankfully, ever since launch, the console giant, along with third-party developers, has been working to remedy this issue, bringing even more of the original Switch’s library to its successor while also working to iron out several bugs with existing games.
Only a tiny fraction of original Switch games areincompatible as of June 2025.
As reported byNintendo Everything, over 20 games have been ‘fixed’ for the Switch 2 this month alone. Included among them are the iconic puzzle platformerPortal 2, the hit real-time strategy game Northgard, and roguelike rhythm gemCrypt of the NecroDancer. Once you’ve installed the latest system update, these games—and 21 others—should run a lot smoother.
Every Switch 2 Compatible Game Fixed For July 2025
As of July 2025, the full list of updated games is as follows:
Nintendo is also aware that Batman: Arkham Knight, Darkstar One, and Welcome to Empyreum are experiencing issues on the Switch 2, so they will likely be fixed in a future update. For now, they are “being investigated”, as Nintendo works to make the Switchas close to being fully backwards compatible as it possibly can.
