Explained simply
Nintendo makes two main versions of its Switch console: the original Switch and the newer Switch 2. Both support games from Nintendo and other publishers, and their release calendars often include a mix of new titles, re-releases and extra content for existing games.
The companies behind the games in this line-up include Nintendo, Square Enix, Konami, FromSoftware and Electronic Arts. Their titles cover different genres, from role-playing and action games to sports and park management, so the month’s releases may interest players with varied tastes.
Release schedules can help players plan what to buy and when, while also showing how much support a console is receiving from outside publishers. Extra content such as a downloadable expansion adds to a game that players already own, rather than being a standalone release.
