Elden Ring on Switch 2 May Ship July 10 as FromSoftware Races to Fix the FPS Problem That Shocked Gamescom

12 May 2026 at 12:00

A character in Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition is riding a horse in a misty landscape, with a castle visible in the background and the Nintendo Switch 2 logo in the corner.

It's been more than a year since FromSoftware and Nintendo surprised everyone with the announcement of Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition, a Nintendo Switch 2 specific version of the award-winning open world action RPG that was revealed alongside the console itself. The game was supposed to launch in 2025, but got delayed to 2026 because the developers needed more time to optimize its performance on the weaker system. Now, though, it may be very close to launch, at least according to Canadian retailer PNP Games, which has listed it for an "estimated ship date" of July 10. For the record, that […]

Nintendo Stock Craters 12% After Switch 2 Price Hike and Bleak FY27 Forecast, Yet Furukawa Shrugs Off Momentum Fears

A Nintendo Switch 2 console with coral Joy-Con controllers is shown next to a dock, featuring the number '2' and the text 'Nintendo Switch' on a red background.

Nintendo's share price took a 12% hit over the weekend following the confirmation of a price hike for the Nintendo Switch 2 set to go into effect this September, but that wasn't the only reason for the double-digit decline. An admittance that Nintendo's biggest titles are taking longer to make, forecasting that Switch 2 sales will actually go on a decline in the next year, and an admittance that memory shortages, tariffs, and longer development cycles for major titles are all major challenges for the company played their part in that stock decline. But president Shuntaro Furukawa isn't phased. During […]
