Have you ever wondered how a PlayStation exclusive title would fit on the Nintendo Switch 2? It’s now possible, considering Nintendo’s latest hybrid console is shaping up to be as powerful as the PlayStation 4 Pro.
That alone says a lot about the rapid evolution of gaming technology, and it’s impressive that Nintendo seamlessly combines handheld and docked capabilities.
PlayStation Titles that we want on the Nintendo Switch 2
If Sony were to give the green light and collaborate with Nintendo, games like Returnal from Housemarque, Horizon Zero Dawn by Guerilla Games, Sony Santa Monica’s classic God of War trilogy, Naughty Dog’s Uncharted and The Last of Us series, and Team Asobi’s Astro Bot could all find a new home on the platform. Here are a few standout exclusives that would play remarkably well on the Nintendo Switch 2:
Returnal
A triple-A roguelike like Returnal would thrive on a hybrid console like the Switch 2. Its intense, looping third-person shooter gameplay is ideal for players who like to jump in and out of a game on the go.
With its frenetic combat, high-stakes boss fights, exceptional sound design, and punishing difficulty spikes, Returnal could be a perfect fit, though potentially risky for players with short tempers. If Housemarque brings Nex Machina or Resogun to the Switch 2, it might be a signal that Returnal is on the way.
Horizon Zero Dawn
There’s no official word yet on whether the Decima Engine can run smoothly on the Switch 2, but given that the console is reportedly on par with the PS4 Pro, there’s reason to believe that with a bit of optimization, Horizon Zero Dawn could perform quite well.
With some trade-offs in visual fidelity and frame rate, it’s easy to imagine Aloy taking down mechanical beasts in a scaled-down open world. After all, she’s already on the Switch via LEGO: Horizon Adventures, so why not bring her full debut over, too?
As for Forbidden West and Burning Shores, the jury’s still out. But we can dream.
Classic God of War Trilogy
Sony’s original God of War trilogy absolutely deserves a place on the Switch 2. Even better, including the two PSP titles, Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta, would make for a definitive collection.
Picture Kratos, rage-filled and god-slaying, rampaging through Olympus on your Switch 2. That’s not just nostalgia, it’s a portable power fantasy come to life.
Uncharted Collection
This one might be more of a long shot. Getting the full Uncharted saga onto the Switch 2 would likely take years of negotiations and plenty of boardroom meetings.
Still, imagine Nathan Drake’s cinematic adventures; those thrilling set pieces, death-defying leaps, and globe-trotting escapades, running on the Switch 2. If optimized well, the console could absolutely handle it, and it would be a major win for action-adventure fans on the platform.
The Last Of Us
If Naughty Dog can port Uncharted, there’s no reason The Last of Us couldn’t follow. Part I and Part II would be outstanding additions to the Switch 2 library, introducing a new wave of gamers to one of the most emotionally gripping post-apocalyptic sagas in gaming history.
And let’s be honest: Sony seems to have no intention of slowing down when it re-releases The Last of Us for the millionth time.
Astro Bot
Astro Bot could be a real game-changer for the Switch 2, especially in the platforming genre. It might even give Mario a little healthy competition. Seeing Astro on the Switch would feel like a crossover no one saw coming, and while it’s unlikely Sony would risk Mario’s platforming dominance, imagine the possibilities.
Of course, there are plenty more titles that could thrive on the Nintendo Switch 2. However, these six franchises strike a balance between technical feasibility and fan demand. With the Switch 2’s upgraded hardware and a bit of cooperation between Nintendo and Sony, who knows what the future holds?
