Nintendo has just confirmed that Elden Ring is coming to Nintendo's next-generation handheld console, the Nintendo Switch 2.

The Nintendo Switch 2 edition of Elden Ring is called "Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition" and will launch on the new console, which was just confirmed to have a 1080p display capable of a 120Hz refresh rate and HDR. It's currently unclear if Elden Ring will be able to take full advantage of the 120Hz refresh rate or use the new mouse functionality with the Joy-Cons.

Additionally, the Switch 2 is capable of 4K video output while docked, which would be particularly good for Elden Ring and those gamers who want to take advantage of the newly announced Pro Controller. Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition will be released on the Nintendo Switch 2 sometime in 2025, presumably after June 5, which is when the Switch 2 will be available.
