When Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition launched last November for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, Bethesda also promised a Switch 2 version would arrive in 2026. Today’s Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase revealed that the game’s Nintendo debut is just a couple of weeks away.
When Fallout 4 arrived on PS4, Xbox One, and PC in 2015, it earned a 9 out of 10 from Game Informer, contributing to an 87 out of 100 on reviews aggregate site Metacritic. This definitive edition of the 2015 open-world RPG includes every post-launch expansion and over 150 pieces of Creation Club content.
Although Nintendo didn’t promote this, the other perk of playing on Switch 2 is the ability to strap the console to your arm like V.A.T.S. to play the game like the coolest person around. Even if that isn’t an official feature (and will probably result in you damaging your Switch 2, so please don’t try it), the ability to play Fallout 4 on the go through your Nintendo Switch 2 is an exciting proposition, and we’ll be able to do just that when Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition arrives on February 24.
