Updated with removals and new entries for the final half of 2023. So much for Switch owners still to look forward to this year. Enjoy!


2023 is turning out to be a year full of games, to no one’s real surprise, but which ones are the most exciting? Which ones have us saving up our Nintendo eShop Gold Points? And which one was a Zelda sequel that had us foaming at the mouth? The answers may (not) surprise you.

We’re over halfway through the year now, and although Tears of the Kingdom has come and gone, but Switch has plenty more left in the 2023 tank. Below we’ve rounded up 30 of the biggest Switch games we’re looking forward to. They run the gamut from AAA first-party offerings to promising-looking indies. We’ll no doubt be adding to (and subtracting from) this list as the remaining months go by.

Switch’s 2023 got off to a good start with Fire Emblem Engage, a pair of Persona ports, Theatrhythm Final Bar Line, Octopath Traveler II, a Metroid Prime Remastered shadow-drop, a Deluxe edition of a Kirby classic, and the long-awaited arrival of Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, but there’s plenty more in the pipeline over the coming months.
