Marvel Rivals May Be Headed to Nintendo Switch 2

by Aaliyah Mar 03,2025

The arrival of Marvel Rivals on the Nintendo Switch 2, once deemed impossible, now appears increasingly likely. While NetEase previously dismissed a release on the original Switch due to technical limitations, the upcoming console could alter that trajectory.

At the DICE Summit, producer Weikang Wu confirmed ongoing discussions with Nintendo. The primary hurdle remains ensuring optimal performance on the new hardware:

"The first-generation Switch lacked the processing power for the gameplay experience we envisioned. However, if the Switch 2 proves capable, we're prepared to bring the game to the platform."

Following the official Nintendo Switch 2 announcement, major game publishers are expressing strong interest. Phil Spencer indicated Xbox's intent to bring its titles to the platform, and Electronic Arts (EA) has also shown its support.

Marvel Rivals itself is set for continued growth, with the anticipated addition of two Fantastic Four members in future updates.
