Marvel Rivals May Be Headed to Nintendo Switch 2

Feb 21,25

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 reality.

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

"The first-generation Switch lacked the processing power for our envisioned gameplay. 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 developers are expressing strong interest. Phil Spencer indicated Xbox's intention to bring its game library to the system, and Electronic Arts (EA) has also shown its support.

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