Nintendo has officially confirmed the July 2025 Nintendo Direct, putting to rest weeks of speculation about its next major showcase.
This time, the highly anticipated presentation will take the form of a Partner Showcase, meaning the spotlight will shine solely on upcoming third-party titles for both the Nintendo Switch and the eagerly awaited Nintendo Switch 2.
The July 2025 Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase is scheduled to air on July 3, beginning at 6 AM PT, 9 AM ET, 2 PM in the UK, and 3 PM across Europe.
The presentation will run for approximately 25 minutes, providing fans and industry observers with a focused update on the slate of third-party games headed to Nintendo's hardware ecosystem.
Notably, Nintendo has clarified that viewers should not expect announcements related to first-party titles during this event.
A Nintendo spokesperson emphasized, "The forthcoming Direct will highlight exciting titles from our development and publishing partners.
We’re giving players a look at upcoming releases coming to both Nintendo Switch and the next-generation Nintendo Switch 2." By limiting the showcase to external developers, Nintendo continues its tradition of providing space for partners to demonstrate their creativity and expand the robust software library available on its platforms.
Fans can tune in live via Nintendo’s official YouTube channel or visit the dedicated Nintendo website for direct coverage.
The showcased titles are expected to reflect the diverse catalog of third-party games that have become a staple of the Nintendo Switch era, and now, also for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.
As with previous Partner Showcases, viewers can anticipate trailers, gameplay reveals, and new announcements, all curated to highlight the contributions of Nintendo's valued publishing partners.
