These are all the Nintendo Switch games with console and PC crossplay support

By and

The Nintendo Switch is still a force in the console market. With record-breaking sales at launch, a smattering of excellent exclusives, and a massive library of wonderful indies, the Switch has become quite the juggernaut. Online multiplayer hasn’t quite gotten on the same level as PlayStation and Xbox, though. Even with its dedicated Nintendo Switch Online subscription program, the Switch still lags behind the competition. The install base, however, is huge, making it a great place to play online games, even if the infrastructure isn’t as feature rich. Additionally, a growing number of games feature crossplay support with Xbox, PlayStation, PC, and sometimes even mobile.

Here are all the Switch games with cross-platform multiplayer support.

Even though games that are accessible on all platforms are, obviously, superior, there are a few contenders that only use crossplay with PC or that use crossplay and cross-progression just with PC.

Normally, cross-saving games don’t have a decent online mode that would encourage crossplay. But the ability to load your save states onto a PC edition of a Switch game is surprisingly useful. Here are some titles that support save file transfers across your Nintendo Switch and PC. 

  • Civilization VI
  • DAEMON X MACHINA
  • Divinity: Original Sin 2 – Definitive Edition
  • Game Dev Tycoon
  • Hades
  • Immortals Fenyx Rising
  • Kingdom: Two Crowns
  • Minecraft
  • The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Nintendo Switch games that support cross-progression

Aside from playing online with users on different platforms, a handful of Nintendo Switch games offer cross-progression support. This means you can make progress on other platforms, then sign into the Nintendo Switch version to pick up right where you left off, with all of your saved data carrying over. That way, you can easily move from platform to platform without losing your progress.

These are the Nintendo Switch titles that support cross-progression with other platforms:

  • Dauntless
  • Fortnite
  • Paladins
  • Realm Royale
  • Rocket League
  • Rogue Company
  • SMITE
  • Spellbreak

The Nintendo Switch 2’s launch lineup just got better thanks to Sonic
Old Sonic runs away from Metal Sonic in Sonic Generations X Shadow.

The Nintendo Switch 2 launch lineup just got a lot more enticing for Sega fans, with Sonic X Shadows Generations, Yakuza 0 Director's Cut and Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S all receiving June 5 release dates. Preorders for these titles (and more) start April 24, and each of these three titles have been improved to offer Nintendo Switch 2 players a little something extra.

Sonic X Shadow Generations has enhanced graphics and gameplay, and also includes a total remaster of Sonic Generations with bonus content. It's particularly appealing for fans of Sonic lore and explains exactly what Shadow is considered the "ultimate lifeform." You can preorder the game for $50 starting tomorrow.

Some Nintendo Switch 2 game cards will also work on the original Switch

Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma is a Nintendo Switch 2 launch title, but according to publisher Marvelous, the same cartridge will also work on the original Nintendo Switch. Even the "Nintendo Switch 2 Edition" of the game will work on the original Switch — you just won't receive the upgraded version with graphical enhancements.

"There’s no need to download the full game," writes the team on Guardians of Azuma's FAQ page. "Simply insert the card into either a Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch 2 console, and the correct version will launch automatically." The game is launching on both consoles, but the only difference in the game cards is that the Nintendo Switch 2 version contains the Upgrade Pack in addition to the game.
