Is there an Elden Ring Switch port?

We'd love to get our hands on an Elden Ring Switch port, so join us as we run through the possibility of the Soulslike going handheld.

Is there an Elden Ring Switch port? An Elden Ring Switch version continues to be a top of our wishlist, as playing FromSoftware’s magnum opus would be ace on-the-go. However, bringing this giant world to the small screen isn’t an easy task. So, let’s take a look at whether we might see the game on the platform in the future.

Before you scroll further, consider paying a visit to Lordran. Our Dark Souls Gwyndolin, Dark Souls Solaire, Dark Souls Priscilla, Dark Souls rings, Dark Souls Nito, Dark Souls Manus, and Dark Souls Sif guides are a here to help. We also happen to have a Dark Souls bosses guide, too.

Are there plans for an Elden Ring Switch port?

FromSoftware has no plans to officially release Elden Ring on Nintendo Switch. While it may seem like a disappointing answer, this massive Soulslike would realistically struggle to run on the small-but-mighty handheld. It is a shame, but unlike Dark Souls which is already on Switch, Elden Ring is a vast experience with a lot of technical horsepower required. Still, you can see what our sister, PCGamesN, thought of the game. Check out their Elden Ring review if you want an in-depth breakdown of the FromSoftware adventure.

Still, we can dream, hope, and pray that maybe the Nintendo Switch 2 is deemed worthy enough of being another home for Elden Ring. Considering the fact that Elden Ring isn’t on Nintendo Switch, it should come as little surprise that its expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree, is also absent from the hybrid console. However, you can enjoy the DLC should you own the game on PC, Xbox, or PlayStation.

What are the Elden Ring platforms?

If you’re lucky enough to own other consoles besides the Nintendo Switch, you can pick up Elden Ring on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.

Is Elden Ring Steam Deck compatible?

Yes, you can play Elden Ring on Steam Deck. Not only if Elden Ring Steam Deck verified, you can also enjoy the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC on the move. Just try not to rage-quit, as the Steam Deck is considerably more expensive than the Switch.

Is Shadow of the Erdtree on Nintendo Switch?

No, Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC isn’t on Nintendo Switch. Who knows, with the advancement in technology we anticipate seeing in the Switch 2, perhaps From Software’s masterpiece will be on a Nintendo console one day.

Will Elden Ring be released on the Nintendo Switch 2?

We can’t say one way or the other, but we can certainly hope to see it happen. Until Nintendo unveils its next console and shows us what it’s capable of, it’s impossible to say whether there’s a chance that Elden Ring will release on the Switch 2.

However, as the current console can run the likes of The Witcher 3 and Skyrim, there’s a chance that its successor could have a home for Elden Ring. All we can do is wait, and should we get word of Elden Ring coming to a Nintendo console, we’ll be sure to let you know.
