While we all eagerly await the rumored announcement of the September Nintendo Direct, we are also coming to realize this will be the first month without a single first-party Switch 2 release. Now clearly Hollow Knight: Silksong just broke the internet for a short time when it released last week, the eShop included, and that is frankly more than enough to keep most gamers busy all month long, but there are a host of other third-party games that have already and are still to land in September for Switch and Switch 2.
All of the Switch 2 games releasing in September
Rumor has it a Nintendo Direct showcase will land this month and it could get announced at any time now. Nintendo traditionally hosts a Direct showcase in September, and while things have worked out a bit different due to the launch of Switch 2 over the last 8 months or so, most folks expect to get the first proper Direct since Switch 2’s launch this month.
Considering September 2025 is completely void of proper first-party Switch 2 game releases, it would seem Nintendo will want to keep the hype rolling towards the holiday season and it’s starting to feel like a September Direct is not only looming but also necessary. We might even get a surprise release September date for a major tile as this Direct, but everything is still up in the air at this point.
All of that said, there are some notable third-party titles landing on Switch and Switch 2 this month. Down below we are running down all of our favorite Switch and Switch 2 release that have already launched and are about to in the coming weeks:
