Once considered an impossibility, the idea of Marvel Rivals making its way to the Nintendo Switch 2 now seems increasingly likely. NetEase had previously dismissed a release on the original Switch due to technical limitations, but the upcoming successor might just change the game—literally.
During the DICE Summit, producer Weikang Wu shared that discussions with Nintendo are actively underway. The primary challenge? Ensuring the game runs smoothly and consistently on the new hardware:
"The first-generation Switch simply didn’t have the power to deliver the gameplay experience we envisioned. But if the Switch 2 can handle it, we’re absolutely ready to bring the game to the platform."

Earlier, game director Thaddeus Sasser had clarified that there were no immediate plans for a mobile version or an original Switch release. Should a Switch 2 port come to fruition, it would likely necessitate a custom build tailored to the new hardware’s capabilities.
With the Nintendo Switch 2 now officially announced, industry giants are showing strong support for the platform. Phil Spencer has hinted at Xbox’s readiness to bring its catalog to the system, while Electronic Arts (EA) has also expressed its enthusiasm.
Meanwhile, Marvel Rivals is gearing up for further expansion, with two members of the Fantastic Four set to join the fray in upcoming updates, promising to shake up the battlefield.
