A leaker whose information has proven reliable in the past, NateTheHate2, revealed on X that Baldur’s Gate 3 was possibly in the works for Nintendo Switch 2. The reveal was in response to a question about whether or not Red Red Redemption 2 or Baldur’s Gate 3 were being ported to the console. “No update on RDR2. Have heard something on BG3 for SW2, but need more verification on it before I can share.” NateTheHate2 is known for providing legitimate leaks, having previously revealed the correct dates in advance of the Nintendo Direct and PlayStation State of Play events.
Baldur’s Gate 3 on Nintendo Steam 2 Would Make the Title Available to a Whole New Market
High-profile games are regularly ported to numerous consoles as well as PC. Unfortunately, Baldur’s Gate 3 has yet to arrive on any of Nintendo’s platforms. Sony and Microsoft released the game on their systems, but it never found a home on the Nintendo Switch. It’s unclear as to why, but it could always be down to the hardware itself.
With rumors coming from a reliable leaker about it arriving on the Switch 2 — a much more powerful system — owners of the console who’ve been hoping to play it may have something to look forward to. It seems likely to happen, as Larian Studios released a native version of Baldur’s Gate 3 on the Steam Deck in September 2025. Baldur’s Gate 3 is already available on Steam, but now players have a portable option.
Larian Studios had difficulty porting Baldur’s Gate 3 to Microsoft’s Xbox Series S, causing it to arrive later than on PC. The issue was split-screen co-op mode, so there’s a possibility the Switch 2 could have similar problems. Regardless, the developer overcame them, releasing the DnD 5e-inspired revival of the Baldur’s Gate series on the platform four months after PC.
If Baldur’s Gate 3 is ported to the Switch 2, that will open the door to a group of gamers who’ve watched others play the game from the sidelines. As of writing, this remains a rumor, but given the source, there’s a good chance Switch 2 players will add Baldur’s Gate 3 to their libraries in the near future, increasing its sales beyond the 15 million+ copies already sold.
