      This, with the paid updates list, covers most of the first party games, though there are still some that’s left.

        Which gets me thinking… have we seen any announcement for third party game upgrade patches? Free or paid?

          Deltarune - Not sure if this is being categorized as a patch, but if you buy it on Switch 1 you can upgrade to the Switch 2 version for free.

          Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma - $10 upgrade pack. Interestingly, the Switch 2 physical is a special cart that can boot the Switch 1 version on legacy hardware, or the bundled upgrade pack on Switch 2.

          I believe those are the only two so far, and they’re cross-gen launch titles rather than any older releases. Sega on the other hand is notably not doing this, they’re porting a few of their Switch 1 titles at full price with no upgrade option.

          Not yet. It’s quite possible that many third party devs, specially the smaller and indie ones don’t have access to Switch 2 dev kit. I am hoping there would be patches as more and more devs get access to it.

            Let’s hope it’s the case, I would be very happy with some upgrade patches for the Trails games.

      They’ll probably add more later, but they’ll still almost entirely not be major games.
