Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition Confirmed for Nintendo Switch 2 Release in February 2026

Bethesda Softworks has officially announced that Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition will launch for the Nintendo Switch 2 on February 24, 2026, bringing the acclaimed post-apocalyptic role-playing game to Nintendo's next-generation hardware.

This comprehensive release aims to deliver the definitive Fallout 4 experience for Switch 2 players, bundling together the base game, all six official expansions, and an extensive selection of fan-favorite Creation Club content. Originally debuting in 2015, Fallout 4 was celebrated for its immersive world-building, ambitious open-world gameplay, and narrative depth, as players assumed the role of the lone survivor from Vault 111 navigating the ruins of post-nuclear Boston.

The Anniversary Edition, now confirmed for Nintendo Switch 2, ensures that a new generation of Nintendo fans can enjoy one of Bethesda's most iconic titles with the benefit of modern enhancements and its full catalogue of curated content. Bethesda's announcement, following the initial reveal in October 2025, underscores the publisher's continued commitment to expanding its franchises onto new gaming platforms.

In a press update, Bethesda characterized this debut on Nintendo Switch 2 as the 'definitive vision' for the Fallout 4 experience, emphasizing its complete package—including the widely praised expansions and a significant collection of user-generated content from the Creation Club. While Fallout 4 has often been discussed in comparison to its immediate predecessor, Fallout 3, it has nonetheless achieved notable acclaim and commercial success, solidifying its place in gaming history.

The game's arrival on Nintendo Switch 2 represents a significant milestone, joining other beloved RPGs and positioning the console as an increasingly attractive hub for both new and returning fans of the series. Pre-orders for Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition are currently available through the Nintendo Switch 2 eShop, giving players the opportunity to secure their copy ahead of the February 2026 launch.

With the upcoming release, both new players and franchise veterans will soon have the chance to experience the wasteland adventure—and all its expansions—from the comfort and versatility offered by Nintendo's next-generation console. For long-time Fallout fans and Nintendo enthusiasts, the arrival of Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition on Switch 2 demonstrates the ongoing evolution of the eShop library, as high-profile titles continue to shape the landscape of portable and at-home gaming.
