When the Silent Hill 2 remake launched on 8th October 2024, it was made clear that it would only be exclusive to the PS5 and PC for one year.
So now that we’re approaching its first anniversary, the possibility of a Switch 2 release has grown after empty slots for two additional platforms have been discovered on the official website by Rebs Gaming (thanks, Push Square).

Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 released for the Switch this week, and we’ve now got some eShop chart data, revealing which entry is the most popular so far.
Perhaps, unsurprisingly, it’s Super Mario Galaxy 2 – which is currently at the very top of Nintendo’s digital store chart in the US, with the original Super Mario Galaxy game placing third on the chart in this same region, behind the recent release Hades II. If you go back to Switch purchases, in general, on the same storefront, it seems the Galaxy pack is still the most popular option.
Nintendo released a new update for the Switch 2 (and Switch) earlier this week, bumping the firmware up to Version 20.5.0. We noted at the time how there could be compatibility fixes, and we’ve got confirmation of multiple fixes.
Once you’ve updated to this particular version, issues related to certain Switch games running on Switch 2 should be resolved. This also notably includes Warframe, with developer Digital Extremes showing the first gameplay of a dedicated Switch 2 release earlier this week (this is coming to the Switch 2 in the future).
Votes for the Golden Joystick Awards are now open.
The Switch 2 game library has already scooped up some awards this year, and now that we’re at the tail end of 2025, even more nominations are beginning to pop up for Nintendo’s new system and its exclusives.
The UK-based ‘Golden Joystick Awards’ have returned for ithe 43rd annual event, and it marks the debut of Switch 2 games, which we’ve highlighted below.
Remember how the upcoming extraction shooter Arc Raiders was meant to launch in 2022? Good times! And quite different times, because back then the game was PvE, seeing you and a few friends take on some nasty bots. Three years on, the game has shifted into a PvPvE experience, and the reason for 1. such a lengthy delay, and 2. a complete change in what players actually do is a simple one: the game was “not fun.”
I could probably quite safely bet some money that many of you are still happily ticking away at Baldur’s Gate 3, but for those of you that would like newer pastures to get your TTRPG fix in video game form, there’s some good news. The board game-esque tactical RPG Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked at long last has a release date!
