Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition Will Finally Rise On Switch 2 This August

Overview

  • FromSoftware and Bandai Namco confirmed Thursday that Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition will launch worldwide for Nintendo Switch 2 on August 28, 2026.
  • The Tarnished Edition bundles the original Elden Ring and the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion and adds new starting classes, armor, weapons, and mount customization.
  • The extra content included in the Switch 2 package will be sold on other systems as 'The Tarnished Pack' DLC and will be available to purchase the same day.
  • Pre-orders are live at major retailers and the physical Switch 2 edition is listed around $79.99 as a game-key card cartridge, with a digital version on the Nintendo eShop.
  • The port was delayed after a poor Gamescom 2025 demo for targeted 'performance adjustments,' and March hands-on reports showed noticeable improvement though launch-day performance will still be closely watched.
