Four dated Switch 2 releases remain on Nintendo’s October schedule after 18 October. The selection covers sports, role-playing, shooting and an enhanced version of an existing game. These dates come from Nintendo’s Australia and New Zealand pages; check your regional eShop before purchasing.
22 October: Nintendo Switch Sports Resort
Wuhu Island returns with 12 motion-controlled sports. The product listing supports TV and tabletop play, but not handheld mode. That distinction matters if your Switch 2 usually travels with you: this is not the same use case as a game designed for ordinary handheld sessions.
22 October: FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE
Square Enix’s HD-2D RPG combines turn-based battles with companions and Visions associated with Final Fantasy characters. Separate Switch and Switch 2 versions exist. Nintendo explicitly says saves cannot transfer between those editions, so choosing the right version is more than a label check.
23 October: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4
The shooter launches with Campaign, Multiplayer and DMZ. Nintendo confirms Switch 2 specifically, not the original Switch. A main launch date should not be confused with an earlier campaign-access offer or with the schedule on a different platform.
27 October: Minecraft
An enhanced Switch 2 version arrives with Vibrant Visuals support. This is a new platform version of Minecraft, not the first release of the game. Check purchase and upgrade conditions instead of assuming existing ownership settles them.
How to read this calendar
A new game, a port and a new edition can all matter to Switch 2 owners, but they are different kinds of release. This list identifies those differences rather than treating every familiar name as a new sequel. It also leaves out dates that had already passed when the roundup was checked.
The practical choice depends on how you play. For motion-controlled sessions, confirm space and controllers. For a long RPG, verify the edition before starting a save. For online play, read the store requirements. Announced dates can change, and regional storefronts remain the final check before buying.
