As we slide into the middle of the year, James Bond might have slipped from his May release on Switch 2, but we've got both Indiana Jones and T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas whipping their way to us this month, plus a bevvy of physical releases, large and small, across Switches 1 and 2.
Square Enix has a double helping of games to follow in June, too, so plenty to keep us going until July, when Nintendo has not one but two first-party games ready to go.
Below, we've highlighted the most exciting Switch 2 (and 1) games coming in the next couple of months. You'll find more great games beneath our top picks, as well as a bunch of accessories.

New Switch 1 & 2 Games for May & June 2026 Indiana Jones & The Great Circle - May 12th (Switch 2)MachineGames' Indy adventure is finally arriving on a Nintendo console following its 2024 Xbox debut and its PlayStation launch last year.
It remains to be seen how Dr. Jones will hold up as he takes on the challenge of the Switch 2 port, but fingers crossed he's got enough mileage left to go the distance.
The year is 1937, sinister forces are scouring the globe for the secret to an ancient power connected to the Great Circle, and only one person can stop them - Indiana Jones. You’ll become the legendary archaeologist in this cinematic action-adventure game from MachineGames, the award-winning studio behind the recent Wolfenstein series, and executive produced by Hall of Fame game designer Todd Howard.

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book - May 21st (Switch 2)
This adorable-looking platformer channels the cuteness of Yoshi games like Woolly World and Crafted World, and we're here for it.
This game also marks the first instance in the US where the digital version will be priced $10 cheaper than the physical ($59.99 versus $69.99).
Play as Yoshi and help a mysterious talking book named Mr. E remember the creatures living within his pages. Open him up, explore colorful habitats, and experiment with each creature to learn all kinds of surprising findings across every page.
On your journey, you might see Bowser Jr. popping up in habitats! What could he be up to...?
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth - June 3rd (Switch 2)
Kicking off Square Enix's one-two punch in June is this second round of FFVII remake featuring Cloud and co. reimagined on modern consoles. Originally launching for PS5 back in 2024, Rebirth is coming to Switch 2 and Xbox on 3rd June.
Physical lovers note: As with the rest of SE's output, this one's a Game-Key Card.
After escaping the dystopian city of Midgar, join Cloud and his friends on an epic journey across the planet in pursuit of Sephiroth. Ride chocobos, sprint across sweeping plains, and explore a vibrant, expansive world.
Experience new features and encounters as the story unfolds, culminating in the party’s journey to the Forgotten Capital from the original FINAL FANTASY VII.
The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales - June 18th (Switch 2)
And following after Rebirth is The Adventures of Elliot, an old-school Zelda-style affair that made a great first impression on us. (There's a demo on the eShop if you're keen to see it for yourself.)
Again, this one's a Game-Key Card.
A brand-new action RPG from the creators of OCTOPATH TRAVELER and BRAVELY DEFAULT combines exciting action-adventure gameplay with stunning HD-2D for the first time! Join Elliot the adventurer and the fairy Faie in a journey through four ages.
