No other prices are currently listed that I can see. Upgrade Pack cost is also not listed. Looks like Switch 2 first party games will be $79.99 USD going forward.

    For me, it depends on how much the upgrade packs add. If you frame it as “We will be releasing select Switch titles as enhanced editions on the Switch 2. If you already have the Switch version, you can buy the enhanced edition at a discount by getting it as an Upgrade Pack.”

    Doesn’t PlayStation have a similar program?

      Yeah but isn’t PlayStation sometimes the upgrades included all the controller features and audio features that didn’t exist for ps4. Games like Death Stranding charged for their upgrades ($10 I believe) but it massively changed the feel of the game. Many other games were free. Put the disk in and it automatically installed the ps5 version, or you had to click something on the shop and it upgraded. Other than death stranding every game that I did an upgrade path for was free and there were a lot of them.

      I don’t know about Sony, but I can play all of my digitally purchased games on my Xbox, regardless of generation. I can play my original xbox, 360, and Xbox one games on my Series X without any additional charges.

      The fact that I have to upgrade my Switch games to play them on the Switch 2 is annoying. Especially for a game like Breath of the Wild, which has already released at full price on 2 other consoles.
