After slipping out of 2025 and into this yr to present FromSoftware more time for performance work, Elden Ring Tarnished Edition finally has a firm Switch 2 date, with Bandai Namco confirming a worldwide release on August 28, 2026. This all-in-one version is exclusive to Nintendo’s latest hardware, built to be the whole package for newcomers and returning players alike.
The Switch 2 edition bundles the bottom game, the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, and a batch of content exclusive to this version: 4 extra armor sets, two latest character classes, and three customization options for Torrent the Spectral Steed. It runs $79.99, with physical preorders opening June 5 and digital preorders following on June 11.
Existing owners on other platforms aren’t being not noted of the brand new toys, either. The identical day, those 4 armor sets, two classes, and Torrent skins arrive individually because the Tarnished Pack, a small digital purchase for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, XBOX One, XBOX Series X|S, and PC. It’s priced at 550 yen in Japan, so expect something similarly low once U.S. pricing lands (probably $4.99).
Preordering or buying the Switch 2 edition early throws in two in-game gestures, The Ring and Ring of Miquella, while physical preorders go further with an exclusive case housing an origin and map poster, all while supplies last. Elden Ring has shipped greater than 30 million copies since its 2022 debut and Game of the 12 months win, and a transportable version on Switch 2 has been highly anticipated, so hopefully FromSoftware has worked out a few of its performance issues.
