Take-Two Interactive Announces Strong Support for Nintendo Switch 2 with Four Major Launch Titles

Take-Two Interactive has confirmed a significant commitment to the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, pledging support with four notable launch titles: Civilization VII Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, Borderlands 4, NBA 2K, and WWE 2K.

This strategic move positions Take-Two as one of the most engaged third-party publishers embracing Nintendo’s next-generation hardware from the outset.

The announcement follows comments from Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick, who recently shared his optimism regarding the Nintendo Switch 2’s future.

Speaking with The Game Business, Zelnick stated that the company is highly confident about Nintendo’s new console.

In his words, "We feel really good about it.

But, as always, the results remain to be seen.

This time, we’re offering more launch support than ever before for a Nintendo platform, with four titles set for release on the Nintendo Switch 2.

While the platform’s performance is yet to be determined, I am a strong believer in its potential." Zelnick addressed the common industry observation that third-party games often face challenges succeeding on Nintendo systems compared to Nintendo’s own first-party titles.

He acknowledged this pattern but expressed belief in a changing landscape.

"That’s been true historically.

Nintendo has traditionally been stronger with supportive first-party software.

However, they are striving to change that.

We have met this challenge and seen the opportunity in supporting Switch 2.

Our actions speak for themselves: we’re dedicating resources to this launch because Nintendo has asked for our support, and we believe we’re delivering.

Now we will see the results," he explained. Nintendo Switch 2 is set for global release on June 5, 2025.

The next-generation console will retail for £395.99 in the United Kingdom, €469.99 in Europe, and $449.99 in the United States.

With Take-Two Interactive’s robust support at launch, Switch 2 buyers can expect access to a diversified portfolio of high-profile titles spanning strategy, action, and sports entertainment. This level of early commitment from one of the gaming industry’s major third-party publishers sets an encouraging precedent for the Nintendo Switch 2’s software ecosystem, especially as the platform aims to further attract multiplatform franchises and broaden its appeal.

As the hardware launch approaches, industry observers will be watching closely to see how both Take-Two Interactive’s titles and Nintendo’s platform perform in the market.
