Platform Shift: Switch 2 Arrives, Old Consoles Axed

The biggest news isn’t just the release date—it is where you will be playing. MotoGP 26 is finally making the jump to the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2.

According to the leak, this isn’t just a basic port. It is an optimized version built specifically for Nintendo’s new hardware capabilities.

But progress comes with casualties. For the first time, the series is completely abandoning the PS4 and Xbox One.

Interestingly, the original 2017 Nintendo Switch is still getting a version, ensuring players holding off on upgrading aren’t left behind.
