Stellar Blade arrives on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026. Nintendo confirmed the port during its latest Direct presentation. The former PlayStation 5 exclusive follows its Steam release and earlier expansion hints from Shift Up. It lands amid rising interest in Nintendo's next hardware, though performance details and features remain undisclosed.

Stellar Blade is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 later this year. The news was announced during the latest Nintendo Direct presentation, confirming that Shift Up's action game will be released on Nintendo's system in 2026.

The announcement confirms earlier hints and reports. No further release date was given beyond the 2026 window. Back in May, Shift Up hinted that the original Stellar Blade may be coming to other formats, saying it was “actively exploring further platform expansion”.
Shift Up developed the title, which has been described in related coverage as one of the most mechanically satisfying action games of the generation.

It was reported back in June 2025 that Shift Up was working on a Nintendo Switch 2 port of the game, following its massive Steam success, but nothing had been officially confirmed until today.
