Elden Ring Switch 2 version delayed
FromSoftware postponed the Nintendo Switch 2 release of Elden Ring Tarnished Edition from 2025 to 2026. The Japanese developer said performance optimization requires additional development time but provided no specific launch date. The company apologized to fans awaiting the portable version of its action role-playing game.
Technical concerns about running the demanding title on Nintendo’s hardware preceded the announcement. FromSoftware games frequently struggle with frame rate stability across current-generation consoles and computers. Borderlands 4 also missed its planned 2025 window for the handheld system as Gearbox addresses technical problems. Players seeking portable Elden Ring must use PC handhelds like the Steam Deck until the Switch 2 version arrives.
