Nintendo Switch 2 gets six May games

- Nintendo Switch 2’s May 2026 lineup now includes six named releases: Mixtape on May 7; Call of the Elder Gods and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on May 12; Yoshi and the Mysterious Book on May 21; Bubsy 4D on May 22; and Stray on May 28. - Nintendo’s own store listings back several of those dates, including Yoshi and the Mysterious Book at $59.99 on May 21 and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle at $69.99 on May 12, while Mixtape, Call of the Elder Gods, and Bubsy 4D also appear in the coming-soon catalog. - The mix matters because May pairs Nintendo’s next Switch 2 exclusive with a Microsoft-published port and more third-party support after a lighter first-party calendar earlier in 2026.

Nintendo Switch 2’s May calendar now has six named releases, with games arriving on May 7, May 12, May 21, May 22, and May 28. (gamerant.com) (nintendo.com) Game Rant’s April 25 roundup listed Mixtape for May 7, Call of the Elder Gods and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle for May 12, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book for May 21, Bubsy 4D for May 22, and Stray for May 28. (gamerant.com) Nintendo’s U.S. store independently shows Mixtape on May 7, Call of the Elder Gods on May 12, Bubsy 4D on May 22, and Yoshi and the Mysterious Book on May 21. The same page also lists Yoshi at $59.99. (nintendo.com 1) (nintendo.com 2) Bethesda’s store page says Indiana Jones and the Great Circle reaches Nintendo Switch 2 on May 12, 2026. Nintendo’s store lists that version at $69.99. (bethesda.net) (nintendo.com) Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is the only first-party Nintendo exclusive in that six-game group. Nintendo describes it as a Switch 2 exclusive and says preorders for new Nintendo-published digital exclusives start a new pricing policy in May 2026. (nintendo.com 1) (nintendo.com 2) The rest of the month leans on outside publishers. Indiana Jones is published by Bethesda under Microsoft, Mixtape comes from Annapurna Interactive, and Stray’s Switch 2 version would bring Annapurna’s cat adventure to Nintendo’s newer hardware. (bethesda.net) (annapurnainteractive.com 1) (annapurnainteractive.com 2) Nintendo has already used late April to push Yoshi ahead of launch. A Nintendo news post published April 23 said players will “be able to dive into” Yoshi and the Mysterious Book when it launches May 21. (nintendo.com) The fuller May slate also follows an early 2026 lineup that Nintendo’s own store shows was front-loaded with releases such as Pokémon Pokopia on March 5 and PRAGMATA on April 17. That gives Switch 2 a steadier run of announced software heading into summer. (nintendo.com) What is still missing is a complete official month-by-month roadmap beyond the titles already on store pages. For now, May looks defined by one Nintendo exclusive, one Microsoft-published port, and four other releases spread across three weeks. (nintendo.com) (gamerant.com)
