Elden Ring lands on the Switch 2 on August 28, ending a postponement. The Tarnished Edition bundles the base game with the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, new classes, weapons, armor and horse‑customization options. The port leverages Switch 2’s GPU and 8 GB RAM, delivering performance impossible on Nintendo hardware. Those extras will be available on PS4, PS5, Xbox consoles and Steam, though pricing remains unconfirmed.

An Amazon listing suggests a price tag of $80, matching the combo pack that includes the base game and DLC on other platforms. While the figure may be placeholder, FromSoftware has historically priced similar bundles in that range. The price places the game alongside flagship titles like Mario Kart, signalling Nintendo’s push for premium third‑party releases. The figure aligns with typical premium RPG pricing.

The Switch 2 debut expands FromSoftware’s Nintendo footprint, which already includes titles like Dark Souls Remastered. The studio is also developing a Switch‑exclusive called The Duskbloods, billed as a spiritual successor to 2015’s Bloodborne. With the Tarnished Edition arriving now, Nintendo gains a marquee RPG to attract core gamers to its next‑gen hardware.
