Switch 2 Just Got One of the Decade’s Best Soulslikes
The Nintendo Switch 2 continues to build a strong third-party game library over a year into its lifecycle, with a particular focus on high-quality soulslike titles. The latest major addition is Lies of P, which released on the platform earlier this month complete with its acclaimed DLC expansion. Critics consider it one of the best soulslikes of the decade, bringing console-quality gameplay to a portable device.
Beyond Lies of P, the soulslike genre is well-represented on Switch 2, with Elden Ring arriving within weeks and Hell Is Us launching in October. The platform’s third-party support extends well beyond the soulslike niche, however. Major releases like Cyberpunk 2077 have arrived as surprisingly competent ports, while Capcom has provided consistent support with recent hits including Resident Evil Requiem and Pragmata.
This growing library demonstrates that the Switch 2 has successfully attracted major developers and publishers willing to port ambitious, technically demanding games to the portable hardware, establishing the console as a viable platform for serious gamers seeking portable versions of contemporary titles.
