Battlefield 6 is preparing to be one of the major game releases this year, and with the Nintendo Switch 2 launching soon, many gamers are wondering if this big EA title will be available on Nintendo’s new handheld. It’s an interesting question given the Switch 2’s improved hardware capabilities compared to the original Switch.
Battlefield 6 is set to launch on October 10, and excitement is building with an upcoming Open Beta that features playlists with class-specific weapons.
Can You Play Battlefield 6 on Nintendo Switch 2?
At this point, no official details confirm if Battlefield 6 will be playable on Nintendo Switch 2. The game is confirmed as a next-gen exclusive, meaning it won’t be available on older consoles, such as the Xbox One or PlayStation 4. The Switch 2, however, is a different story because it’s powerful enough to run big third-party titles, unlike the original Switch. This opens up possibilities, but EA hasn’t said much yet.
It’s worth noting that Nintendo consoles are no longer just for kids. Games like Red Dead Redemption and Cyberpunk 2077 have arrived on the Switch, showing there’s room for more demanding games. So, why wouldn’t Battlefield 6 be a possibility?
What EA Games Are Coming to Nintendo Switch 2?
EA has confirmed several titles for Nintendo Switch 2, including Madden 26 and EA Sports FC 26. While these aren’t shooters like Battlefield, their presence indicates EA trusts the Switch 2’s hardware. Previously, EA’s Switch games had features closer to those of older consoles, such as Xbox One and PS4, but with Switch 2, the experience is expected to be more in line with that of Xbox Series X|S and PS5.
FPS games demand a lot from hardware due to their high multiplayer player counts and demanding graphical needs. Battlefield has never been on a Nintendo console before, and neither has Call of Duty since 2013’s Call of Duty: Ghosts on Wii U. That gap might mean there’s an opportunity for Battlefield 6 on Switch 2, but it’s a big ask.
