Potential Absence of Starfield on Nintendo Switch 2 amidst Delay Rumors and PS5 Port Speculations

During yesterday's Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, Microsoft Gaming revealed that Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition, Oblivion Remastered, and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle are all slated for release on the Nintendo Switch 2. Fallout 4 is due February 2nd, Oblivion Remastered sometime in 2026, and Indiana Jones on May 12th. Conspicuously absent from the announcements was Starfield, leading some to wonder about its fate on the Switch 2, especially with rumors circulating about a potential PS5 port arriving as early as April 2026. Adding to the uncertainty, a user on ResetEra inquired about a Switch 2 version of Starfield, to which shinobi602 responded that the game's release has been delayed and might be canceled altogether. Shinobi602, a known industry insider, did not elaborate further, but his statement casts doubt on the likelihood of Starfield appearing on Nintendo's newest console, potentially disappointing fans.
