Elden Ring was initially positioned as one of several big third-party games headed to the Switch 2, but following a Gamescom 2025 demo that showcased several technical issues in From Software’s open-world action-RPG–particularly in handheld mode–publisher Bandai Namco delayed its release. After several months of ‘performance adjustment,” the game has re-emerged at GDC 2026, and so far, it looks to be in a much better shape.
