At the Nintendo Direct on June 9, 2026, Nintendo and its partners confirmed a wave of Switch 2 ports of games that are already on sale elsewhere. Here's the part the trailers skip: if you own a gaming PC, almost all of them can be bought right now for a fraction of the eShop price, and one is sitting at its lowest price on record. We compared 200+ verified stores to find the cheapest way in.
Who announced what, and when
The ports were revealed during Nintendo's roughly 50-minute presentation, streamed live on Nintendo's official YouTube and Twitch channels on June 9, 2026. Capcom alone confirmed three (Devil May Cry 5, Onimusha: Way of the Sword and Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen), while Sega/Atlus, Neowiz, Saber Interactive and Shift Up filled out the line-up with their own release dates.
Switch 2 ports already cheaper on PC
Every price below is the lowest verified offer across the stores we track, in USD, at the time of writing.
| Game | Switch 2 launch | Lowest PC price |
|---|---|---|
| Lies of P | Aug 6, 2026 | from $6.91 |
| Dragon's Dogma 2 | Oct 9, 2026 (Dark Arisen) | from $11.48 |
| Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 | Holiday 2026 | from $17.98 |
| Metaphor: ReFantazio | Nov 12, 2026 | from $21.03 |
| Stellar Blade | 2026 | from $39.47 (all-time low) |
Stellar Blade is currently at its lowest verified PC price on record — a notable window given it only recently left PlayStation exclusivity. Lies of P at $6.91 is the standout value: the same acclaimed soulslike the Switch 2 'Complete Edition' is built on, for the price of a sandwich.
Why the PC versions cost so much less
Two things are at play. First, these titles have been on PC long enough for prices to settle far below a brand-new console port. Second, PC key marketplaces compete on price in a way a first-party eShop never does — the same game, the same platform, dozens of competing sellers. A freshly minted Switch 2 port will sit near full RRP for months; the PC version is already discounted to the floor. You're effectively paying a portability premium for the handheld version.
Are cheap PC keys safe?
Keys bought from reputable, highly-rated sellers activate normally on Steam or the relevant launcher. We surface store and seller details alongside each price so you can pick a trusted option rather than the cheapest unknown listing.
