The Nintendo Switch 2 rollout is somewhat complicated. While most original Switch games are compatible with the Switch 2, some are not. Some original Switch games are getting paid Switch 2 upgrades, which will improve their performance on the upcoming console.

Now, Nintendo has revealed on their website that they have a third category for Switch games. Some of their first party games are getting free updates on the Switch 2.

As detailed on the official Nintendo Switch 2 website, Nintendo will release updates for select Switch 1 games to "improve playability" on Switch 2. According to the company, the exact specifics of the updates will vary by title, but they "may improve performance or add support for features such as GameShare in select games."

After months of waiting, Nintendo finally revealed all the juicy details about the Nintendo Switch 2, including the first batch of games.
