A report claims Diablo 4 will launch on Nintendo Switch 2 on September 15 or 18 for $69.99 as a code-in-box edition. Dealabs Magazine cites recent ratings board listings that were later removed. The port would add another major third-party title to the console, though Blizzard has not confirmed plans or an expansion inclusion.

A new report claims Blizzard Entertainment's Diablo 4 is finally making the jump to Nintendo Switch 2, with a release potentially arriving as soon as September.

Dealabs Magazine cites ratings board listings for the port. The French outlet reports that the action-RPG is scheduled for either Sept. 15 or Sept. 18, will retail for $69.99 in the U.S., and will receive a physical "code in a box" release, meaning the package would include a download code instead of a physical cartridge.

Dealabs Magazine states it has independently confirmed the game's existence on the new hardware but was unable to verify whether the expansion will be included. Polygon has contacted Blizzard Entertainment for comment and will update this story if the company responds.

Ratings boards have listed the game multiple times before listings were removed. Earlier this year the Indonesia Game Rating System reportedly listed Diablo 4's expansion for Nintendo Switch alongside other platforms before the entry drew attention and was seemingly pulled.

Taiwan's ratings board more recently published and then removed a Switch 2 classification for the base game, adding weight to speculation that Blizzard has been preparing a port. Neither Blizzard nor Xbox has made any official announcement.

A Gamescom reveal remains possible later this month. Xbox has already confirmed it will have a major presence at Gamescom 2026 as part of its 25th anniversary celebration. The company plans to show Fable's first live gameplay demonstration to the public and additional details on Alien Isolation 2.
The system has shown it can handle graphically demanding games though recent ports have also highlighted the hardware's limitations.

Other unreleased titles scheduled for Microsoft's booth include Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, Gears of War: E-Day, Minecraft Dungeons 2, Metro 2039, The Blood of Dawnwalker, Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, and Valor Mortis. The exhibit will feature 140 gaming stations in total.

The port would join other major third-party titles on Switch 2. The system has shown it can handle graphically demanding games though recent ports have also highlighted the hardware's limitations. How the title performs on Nintendo's hardware remains to be seen.
Polygon's review of the expansion praised the add-on for improving the endgame and introducing the new Spiritborn class, though it noted that some of the game's broader issues remained.
