Buy Elden Ring games for Nintendo Switch 2

The Elden Ring franchise reframes soulslike challenge through exploration. Ride Torrent across open fields, descend into crafted labyrinths and shape your identity through weapons, spells and Ashes of War. Its worldbuilding, penned with George R. R. Martin, gives context to every ruin and boss.

Milestones include the base game’s 2022 launch, the Colosseum update later that year introducing arena PvP, and 2024’s Shadow of the Erdtree, which pushes the narrative and buildcraft even further with new items and a demanding region.

On Nintendo Switch 2, the ideal starting point is Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree Edition. It ensures you own the 2024 content from day one and keeps progression unified as you move from early exploration to late-game challenges. Alternatively, start with the 2022 release if you want to learn systems at your pace, then expand when ready. In both cases you get co-op summons, optional invasions and flexible respecs to experiment freely.
