Nintendo has been working to improve Switch game compatibility on the Switch 2, and following a new system firmware update earlier this week, multiple fixes have been rolled out.
Apart from a fix for Xenoblade Chronicles X, many other titles are now fully functioning on Nintendo’s new hybrid system. Here’s the list, courtesy of Nintendo Everything:
Compatibility fixes
Nintendo has also reportedly identified issues with some third-party titles, which will hopefully be resolved in time:
Game progression issues
Sound not playing (TV Mode)
Since the release of system update (Version 21.0.0), there are also reports of some titles crashing on Switch 2. This includes Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl and Crypt of the NecroDancer.
This latest update follows the launch of a new compatibility search page earlier this week, allowing you to keep track of individual game updates. You can find out more about this in our previous coverage:

Nice! The more games get fixed on Switch 2, the better.
Yay! Windjammers is awesome 🥳
Excellent about Batman. Looking forward to giving that a try. May still hold out for a switch 2 update though…
Considering the Switch had like over 6000 games, there’s no way Nintendo will ever complete that list of Switch compatible games for Switch 2. They need to just focus on the most popular ones.
