An update released at the end of September 2025, officially dedicated to “stability”, actually unlocked full compatibility with five additional Switch 1 games. Among them, Warframethe cooperative MMO from Digital Extremes, in high demand among nomadic players.

According to the NintendoEverything team, “the new firmware update made five Switch 1 games fully compatible with the Switch 2.” Thanks to this advancement, players can once again enjoy these titles in good conditions, without major bugs or performance limitations.

The 5 new Switch 2 compatible games

Here are the five titles now fully functional on Nintendo’s latest console:

  • Warframe
  • Deemo Reborn

This patch is good news for fans of multiplayer shooters, but also for fans of narrative RPGs like Library of Ruina or music games like Deemo.

Partial compatibility: games still awaiting fixes

Nintendo also released a inventory concerning several games that are still partially compatible. This is not a list of strict incompatibilities, but of titles that suffer from annoying bugs or technical limitations:

  • Jelly Troops : progress blocked, game currently unplayable
  • Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning : persistent graphical bugs, but progress repaired
  • Mugen Souls : some objects are not displayed correctly
  • Subway Simulator 2025: City Train : animations missing in certain areas
  • Transistor : risk of crashing if you remove the console from the dock in the middle of a game
