The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition

Embark on a legendary open-world adventure! With over 200 Game of the Year Awards, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim redefined open-world fantasy over a decade ago. Now, experience the full adventure like never before with the Anniversary Edition. Enjoy enhanced performance for the Nintendo Switch 2 system: Updated visuals, improved load times and optimized performance. This version includes the critically acclaimed base game and the three official expansions: Dawnguard, Hearthfire and Dragonborn. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition is available now on Nintendo eShop.

Ultimate Sheep Raccoon 

Build chaotic bike-racing courses with friends as a cast of silly barnyard animals in Ultimate Sheep Raccoon – the spiritual successor to the wild party platformer Ultimate Chicken Horse. In this party game, you can add obstacles, ramps and dangerous traps, then crash your way to the finish line while collecting power-ups, dodging hazards and pulling off sick tricks. Choose from returning critters like Chicken, Horse, Sheep and Raccoon, or meet a new crew of barnyard buddies, and engage in races for up to eight players locally1 and online2. You can even build your own levels, share them online and put together custom playlists. Ultimate Sheep Raccoon is available now on the Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch systems.

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader 

Made in partnership with Games Workshop, this story-rich classical RPG from Owlcat Games is coming to Nintendo Switch 2! Begin your adventure aboard your giant personal voidship, traveling between the multitude of systems within the Koronus Expanse – a barely charted and incredibly perilous region of space. During quests, show your subjects mercy or disdain, stay faithful to the God-Emperor, or consort with enemies of Mankind. Your every decision and act, even in character creation, changes the in-game open world and those who inhabit it. Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader will be available later today on Nintendo Switch 2. 

DLC

Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension DLC – Mysterious distortions start appearing without warning in Lumiose City and you, the talented donut chef Ansha, and the Mythical Pokémon Hoopa must work together to transform them into portals leading to Hyperspace Lumiose! Beware, the unusual Pokémon who call Hyperspace Lumiose home are quite different, with hyperspace levels that can make their total levels exceed the normal limit of 100. You’ll also encounter new Mega Evolutions including Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y, Mega Zeraora, Mega Chimecho and Mega Baxcalibur! The Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension DLC3 is available now.
