Microsoft Brings Oblivion Remastered on Aug. 11 and Diablo 4 in September to Switch 2

3 articles · Updated · KitGuru · Aug 5

Summary

  • Oblivion Remastered will hit Switch 2 on Aug. 11, with Diablo 4 following in September as Microsoft expands its first-year support for Nintendo's new console.
  • That lineup adds two major Xbox-owned games to a Switch 2 catalog that already includes Overwatch, Fallout 4 and Indiana Jones, with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 also planned later this year.
  • Diablo 4 could be a strong fit for the platform because Diablo 3 built a large audience on the original Switch, though Microsoft has not detailed how the newer game will perform on the hardware.
  • The releases also come as Microsoft reassesses its broader platform strategy under new Xbox leadership, even as future Call of Duty games are still expected on Switch 2.
