Fans have been waiting for a while, as From Software originally slated Elden Ring for release on Switch 2 in 2025, but it was delayed for &#8220;performance adjustments.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elden Ring is coming to Switch 2 with the Tarnished Edition, and it releases on August 28 for $80 USD. It includes the base game and the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, along with four new armor sets, two new starting classes, and more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elden Ring&#8217;s Tarnished Edition will be available physically, and it comes on a Game-Key Card; this is a physical cartridge with a download code. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new content in the Tarnished Edition won&#8217;t be exclusive to Switch 2, however, as From Software will sell the Tarnished Pack on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC on August 28. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2025,&nbsp;people who played Elden Ring on Switch 2 said it was in rough shape, with the frame rate in particular getting called out for being poor. Publisher Bandai Namco initially&nbsp;forbade media from showing footage of the game. However, new footage of the Switch 2 edition emerged in March 2026.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Elden Ring - 9 Minutes Of Switch 2 Gameplay\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5PmZrYWfQLM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elden Ring&#8217;s Switch 2 version is going to be From Software&#8217;s second big release for Switch 2 this year, joining The Duskbloods.
