Gaming is always better with friends, and the Nintendo Switch 2 makes it easier than ever to jump into thrilling co-op and versus matches. Whether you’re into high-speed races, chaotic cooking, or all-out brawls, the console’s lineup of Nintendo Switch 2 multiplayer games delivers endless fun.

Here are five must-play titles that bring people together and guarantee hours of excitement.

Mario Kart World – Start Your Engines!

When it comes to iconic multiplayer experiences, nothing beats Mario Kart. But Mario Kart World takes things to the next level. Imagine racing across a massive interconnected world with up to 24 players—no loading screens, no limitations, just pure speed and chaos.

Whether you’re drifting through bustling city streets, dodging lava on volcanic tracks, or exploring hidden areas in Free Roam mode, this game offers something fresh for both casual players and hardcore racers. And with Knockout Tour mode, you’ll need to bring your A-game—fall behind at a checkpoint, and you’re out of the race. Perfect for group sessions where bragging rights are on the line.

Street Fighter 6 Year 1-2 Fighters Edition – The Fight Evolves

If you and your friends love some good old-fashioned brawling, Street Fighter 6 is where the action’s at. This isn’t just about button-mashing—it’s about skill, timing, and pulling off that clutch combo just before the KO lands.

The Street Fighter 6 Year 1-2 Fighters Edition on Switch 2 comes with unique modes tailored for portable multiplayer. From Avatar Matches to Joy-Con-powered minigames like Gyro Battle, the game adds fun, quirky twists to the classic fighter format. Friends can jump into online matches and settle rivalries anytime, while amiibo support keeps collectors happy.

This isn’t just another fighter—it’s the next level of competition and camaraderie.

Super Mario Party Jamboree – The Biggest Bash Yet

When it comes to couch-to-online fun, nothing screams friendship (and rivalry) like Mario Party. Super Mario Party Jamboree is the largest entry yet, packing over 110 minigames, seven colourful boards, and a 20-player online mode called Koopathlon.

Whether you’re sprinting through Goomba Lagoon, climbing the leaderboard in Lane Change, or cracking jokes during Jamboree TV (exclusive to Switch 2), this game delivers endless replayability. The party never gets stale, and thanks to the Switch 2’s upgraded hardware, even multiplayer games feel smooth and vibrant.

It’s the perfect digital hangout spot when you can’t gather in person.

Mario Party Superstars – Nostalgia Meets Multiplayer

For those who love the classics, Mario Party Superstars is a must-play. This title revives five legendary boards from the N64 days—Peach’s Birthday Cake, Space Land, and more—along with 100 fan-favourite minigames from across the series.

Online play is a huge plus here. Matches save after every turn, so you and your friends can pause mid-party and pick up where you left off later. With simple button controls and online stickers to cheer (or taunt), it feels like the old days—only now you don’t have to be in the same living room to ruin someone’s night by stealing their star.

Overcooked! 2 – Chaotic Kitchen Vibes

Sometimes, the best way to test a friendship is to throw everyone into a virtual kitchen and crank up the chaos. That’s exactly what Overcooked! 2 does.

Work together (or not) to chop veggies, toss ingredients, dodge obstacles, and serve meals under tight time limits. With dynamic kitchens that shift mid-game—think moving platforms, teleporters, and even alien worlds—every match keeps you on edge.

For gamer friends, this is the ultimate co-op test. Will you pull together to save the Onion Kingdom from The Unbread, or will someone “accidentally” yeet your chopped tomatoes into the abyss? Either way, laughter is guaranteed.

Why Switch 2 Multiplayer Games Keep Friendships Strong

At the end of the day, multiplayer gaming isn’t just about winning—it’s about creating moments. The Switch 2 multiplayer games lineup makes it easier than ever to share laughs, rivalries, and celebrations with friends across the globe.

From the adrenaline of racing in Mario Kart World, to the precision of a Street Fighter 6 showdown, to the chaotic fun of Overcooked! 2, the Switch 2 offers something for every squad. No matter the distance, the joy of gaming together has never felt closer.

So grab your controllers, jump online, and let the games begin.
