Disney Dreamlight Valley Confirmed for Nintendo Switch 2: Gameloft Announces Compatibility and Future Release

Disney Dreamlight Valley, the enchanting life simulation game developed by Gameloft, is set to expand its horizons with an upcoming release on the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2.

This announcement marks another significant step for both the developer and fans of the popular title, following a wave of third-party studios readying their games for Nintendo's next-generation hybrid console. Originally debuting on the Nintendo Switch eShop in September 2022, Disney Dreamlight Valley quickly established itself within the life sim genre, attracting players with its unique blend of Disney magic and robust gameplay systems.

Though initial versions of the game were praised for their relaxing approach to daily life tasks and vibrant world, critics and players alike noted performance issues on the first-generation Switch hardware—particularly regarding optimization and stability.

Gameloft has since addressed these concerns, steadily rolling out a series of major updates that have introduced new characters, quests, and technical improvements. In a recent statement shared via social media, Gameloft officially confirmed, "We are pleased to share that the Nintendo Switch version of Disney Dreamlight Valley is fully compatible with the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.

Please stay tuned as we share more details about a version tailor-made for Nintendo's next console." This message assures both current and prospective players that the game will not only be playable on Nintendo's new system but that further enhancements or a dedicated release are also on the horizon. The current Nintendo Switch edition of Disney Dreamlight Valley remains available for purchase via the Switch eShop, ensuring that existing owners will retain access as they migrate to future hardware.

Notably, as of this announcement, Gameloft has not disclosed additional information regarding the specifics of a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive version, such as pricing, potential upgrade paths, or the timeline for release.

The company has stated that more updates will be provided in due course. Disney Dreamlight Valley was originally envisioned as a free-to-play experience but ultimately launched as a paid title.

Its arrival has been met with strong community engagement, and the ongoing release of substantial post-launch content has contributed to its staying power in the life sim market.

This pending Switch 2 compatibility positions the game favorably to reach new players and take advantage of enhanced hardware capabilities expected from Nintendo's next-generation platform. As additional details emerge—particularly regarding upgrade incentives, new features, or exclusive content for the Nintendo Switch 2—Gameloft and Nintendo are expected to provide clear guidance for fans eager to continue their Disney Dreamlight Valley adventures on more powerful hardware.
