Ubisoft has confirmed that Riders Republic will be coming to Nintendo Switch 2, with the port scheduled to launch on December 9, 2026.
Developed by Ubisoft Annecy, Riders Republic first released on October 28, 2021 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
The title is best known as a large-scale multiplayer outdoor sports playground that mixes biking, skiing, snowboarding, and wingsuiting across an expansive open world.
In its announcement, Ubisoft highlighted the core multiplayer and live-service features that defined the original release.
The studio described the Republic as a persistent multiplayer arena that supports competitive matches with up to 50 players, seasonal events, and rotating challenges.
In journalistic terms: Ubisoft says Riders Republic offers large-scale multiplayer races and activities that are refreshed through seasonal content, regular challenges, and new event types intended to keep players returning.
Gameplay and world design remain central to the experience: players can switch on the fly between bikes, skis, snowboards, and wingsuits while exploring a vast environment that stitches together urban streets with recreations of iconic U.S. national parks.
The game’s map includes areas modeled after Yosemite, Zion, Bryce Canyon, Yellowstone, and the Grand Canyon, allowing a mix of trail and downhill-focused events.
Cosmetics and player expression were also part of the original package.
Ubisoft pointed to an extensive customization system that lets players unlock branded gear and streetwear-style items to personalize their characters for races, trick competitions, and cooperative crew rides.
An official trailer accompanied Ubisoft’s Switch 2 announcement, giving players a look at the port’s presentation and lineup of activities.
Riders Republic’s December 9, 2026 release on Nintendo Switch 2 will add the title to the console’s eShop catalog when it launches.
For readers tracking Nintendo Switch 2 releases and third-party ports, this marks a notable addition from a major publisher and a prominent multiplayer-focused entry headed to the new hardware.
