Initially deemed impossible, the possibility of Marvel Rivals launching on Nintendo Switch 2 now appears increasingly realistic. Though NetEase previously excluded the original Switch due to hardware limitations, its successor could revolutionize the platform's capabilities.
"The first-gen Switch lacked the performance needed to deliver our envisioned experience. However, if Switch 2 meets the requirements, we're fully committed to bringing the game to Nintendo players."

Following Nintendo Switch 2's official announcement, major publishers are supporting the platform. Phil Spencer hinted at Xbox's willingness to port its games, while Electronic Arts has expressed enthusiasm.
Marvel Rivals continues expanding its roster, with two Fantastic Four characters slated to join future updates.
