GamesRadar’s very own gaming showcase returns during this year’s Summer Game Fest extravaganza. Future Game Show Summer Showcase 2023 followed this year’s Wholesome Direct with a mix of multiplatform titles to suit everyone, and it was a jam-packed showcase.
Hosted by world-class voice actors Yuri Lowenthall (Spider-Man) and Laura Bailey (Mary Jane Watson) and while there’s many a Spider-Man pun along the way, there are also plenty of games coming to Switch that were shown off.
We’ve gathered a list of all of the Switch games that were shown off during the presentation for you, so sit back, relax, and take a look at what’s coming to Switch over the course of the next year or so from Future Games Show.

Only a few survivors managed to find refuge behind the huge walls of the fortress-cities. Although you are one of them, your luck has run out as you got infected while foraging outside the city walls. Now your only hope is to fight through the hordes of mutants and chimeras and to find the cure!”
