The Nintendo Switch has a vast library, and a ton of games continue to be released for it each month. We’ve put together a list of all the upcoming Switch games in 2022 that have been announced so far. Note, however, that we’ve only included titles from legitimate studios on our release calendar. That means you won’t find the 99 cent shovelware that constantly floods the eShop on here. We’ve also bolded some of our personal favorite upcoming Switch games and major releases to help distinguish the titles you should keep an eye on.
