Quick Summary#

The Nintendo Switch family of systems has become a robust platform for Star Wars enthusiasts, hosting a total of 13 distinct games as of 2026. This collection spans decades of the franchise's history, bringing both handheld and console experiences to a single platform. The library is heavily bolstered by remastered editions of fan-favorite titles originally released on older consoles and PCs.

In addition to the 13 games on the standard Nintendo Switch, there is currently 1 additional title available specifically for the Switch 2. The available games cover a diverse range of gameplay styles, including tactical shooters, narrative-driven role-playing games, and high-speed racing simulations. These titles allow players to assume the roles of iconic characters such as Kyle Katarn, Jango Fett, and Anakin Skywalker, exploring various eras of the George Lucas universe.

First-Person Shooters and Action#

The Nintendo Switch library features a strong lineup of action-oriented Star Wars games, particularly focusing on the first-person shooter genre. A significant addition to the platform is the remastered version of Star Wars: Dark Forces, originally released in 1995. This title serves as the foundation for the Jedi Knight series, casting players as Kyle Katarn, a former Imperial Officer working for the Rebel Alliance. The game takes place between the events of Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, featuring covert missions and frantic shootouts.

Following the timeline of the Jedi Knight series, Star Wars Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast is also available. This 2002 title continues the story of Kyle Katarn as he re-embraces the Force to seek revenge. It distinguishes itself by focusing on technical lightsaber dueling and physics-based battles against Sith lords. Another classic action game is Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, a 2002 prequel to Attack of the Clones. Players control Jango Fett, utilizing a jet pack and heavy weaponry to navigate the criminal underworld and hunt targets like Komari Vosa.

Role-Playing Games and Strategy#

For players seeking deep narratives, the Switch offers highly regarded RPGs. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) is frequently cited as one of the most iconic RPGs ever made. Set 4,000 years before The Phantom Menace, it casts the player as a Galactic Republic soldier stranded on the planet Taris. The gameplay involves learning the ways of the Force and battling the armies of the Sith led by Darth Malak, with choices that determine whether the player follows the light or dark side.

Another entry in the Jedi Knight series is Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. This 2003 title shifts the protagonist role to a customizable character named Jayden Korr, a Padawan studying under Kyle Katarn. The game introduces new fighting styles and the ability to customize lightsabers. Additionally, the Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection brings together the 2004 and 2005 shooters. It allows players to fight on large-scale battlefields across the classic and prequel trilogies, featuring maps like Hoth and Geonosis, and supports online multiplayer for up to 64 players.

Racing and Arcade Classics#

Beyond combat and RPGs, the library includes arcade-style racing. Star Wars Episode 1 Racer is a remaster of the 1999 game based on the podracing sequence from The Phantom Menace. Players strap into their own podracer to compete in tournaments across the galaxy, battling opponents like Anakin Skywalker and Sebulba. The game allows for upgrading crafts to gain an edge in competition on the streets of Tatooine.

These titles represent the breadth of the Star Wars gaming experience on the Switch. From the tactical combat of the Battlefront series to the personal journey of a Jedi Academy student, the platform offers a comprehensive look at the franchise's gaming legacy. The remastered releases ensure that these classics remain accessible to a new generation of players on modern hardware.
