- GameRant on April 25 mapped out six Switch 2 releases for May 2026: Mixtape, Call of the Elder Gods, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, Bubsy 4D, and Stray. - The dates run from May 7 to May 28, with Yoshi and the Mysterious Book the only Switch 2 exclusive in the group and Indiana Jones the biggest third-party name. - Quartet also lands on Nintendo Switch on April 30, adding one more near-term release as Nintendo’s 2026 Switch 2 slate remains lightly dated beyond May.

Nintendo’s short-term Switch 2 calendar just got more specific: six named games are lined up for May 2026, according to a new GameRant roundup. (gamerant.com) GameRant’s list starts with Mixtape on May 7, then doubles up on May 12 with Call of the Elder Gods and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. It continues with Yoshi and the Mysterious Book on May 21, Bubsy 4D on May 22, and Stray on May 28. (gamerant.com) (ign.com) That lineup mixes one Nintendo exclusive with several outside publishers. Nintendo’s own store pages list Yoshi and the Mysterious Book as a Switch 2 exclusive releasing May 21, 2026. (nintendo.com 1) (nintendo.com 2) The third-party side is doing much of the work. IGN’s release calendar lists Indiana Jones and the Great Circle for May 12 on Switch 2, while Annapurna’s Stray is set for May 28 after its Switch 2 announcement this week. (ign.com) (gematsu.com) Another near-term date arrived outside the Switch 2 list. Nintendo Everything reported that Something Classic Games will release Quartet on Nintendo Switch on April 30, 2026, years after first announcing the role-playing game. (nintendoeverything.com 1) (nintendoeverything.com 2) Quartet is not part of the six-game May Switch 2 slate, but it adds one more release to Nintendo’s immediate schedule. Nintendo Everything said the game runs 20 to 30 hours and uses four opening storylines that merge into a final party of eight characters. (nintendoeverything.com) Beyond May, the public Switch 2 calendar still looks thinly dated. GameRant said the 2026 schedule is “still pretty bare” after these releases, while its broader release tracker and IGN’s calendar show many announced games without firm launch days. (gamerant.com 1) (gamerant.com 2) (ign.com) So the immediate picture is clearer than the longer one. Switch 2 owners now have a dated run from May 7 through May 28, with Yoshi carrying Nintendo’s first-party flag and Indiana Jones and Stray filling out the month from the third-party side.
