Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition Coming to Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026

Bethesda Confirms Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition Release for Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026 In a major announcement during the recent Fallout Day Broadcast, Bethesda Softworks revealed that Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition will launch on the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026.

This marks the first time a mainline entry from the acclaimed Fallout franchise will be officially available on Nintendo hardware, underscoring Bethesda’s commitment to bringing its rich gaming library to new audiences. Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition features the complete base game alongside all six of its official downloadable expansions, including Automatron, Far Harbor, Nuka-World, and the trio of Workshop add-ons.

Notably, this comprehensive edition also bundles more than 150 pieces of Creation Club content, offering Switch 2 players an expansive range of new weapons, alternative Dogmeat breeds, additional quests, and customization features—all curated by Bethesda and the game’s community creators. While the teaser trailer shared during the Fallout Day Broadcast offered limited footage of the port, further details regarding performance and user experience on the Nintendo Switch 2 are expected to be released closer to the title’s launch.

In the meantime, fans can anticipate exploring post-apocalyptic Boston and the greater Commonwealth region with all the convenience and flexibility afforded by Nintendo's latest hybrid console. The narrative of Fallout 4 picks up a decade after the events of Fallout 3, placing players in the shoes of the lone survivor of Vault 111.

After witnessing tragedy in the vault—the murder of their spouse and the kidnapping of their child—the protagonist ventures out into the devastated landscape of Massachusetts.

The player's quest is defined by survival, exploration, and the search for their missing child, as well as complex choices that influence the world around them. Upon its original release on November 10, 2015, Fallout 4 received widespread acclaim.

Critics praised its immersive open world, advanced customization options, and the degree of player freedom.

While some longtime fans noted a simplification of certain RPG mechanics compared to Fallout 3, the game nonetheless maintained robust sales and has since enjoyed a resurgence in popularity, particularly as the franchise celebrates its legacy a decade later. Bethesda’s decision to develop Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition for the Switch 2 reinforces the studio’s reputation for setting industry milestones across multiple platforms.

When it arrives in 2026, Nintendo Switch 2 owners will have the opportunity to experience one of the celebrated landmarks of modern role-playing games, complete with all expansions and curated community content via the eShop. Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition for Nintendo Switch 2 is scheduled for release in 2026.
