Disney Games on Nintendo Switch: 2025 Preview

Disney, the iconic multimedia giant, has significantly shaped the entertainment industry, from movies and TV shows to theme parks and video games. Over the past three decades, Disney has not only brought beloved movies to life through video games but has also created original titles like Kingdom Hearts and Epic Mickey. For fans of Disney, the Nintendo Switch offers a delightful array of games that cater to both solo players and those looking to enjoy some family fun. Whether you're unwinding at home or gearing up for a Disney park adventure, here's a comprehensive list of every Disney game available on the Switch, arranged by their release dates.

How Many Disney Games Are on the Nintendo Switch?

Navigating what counts as a "Disney" game can be tricky nowadays. Since the Switch's launch in 2017, a total of 11 Disney games have graced the platform. Among these, three are direct movie tie-ins, one is a spin-off from the Kingdom Hearts series, and another is a collection of various Disney classics. While not included in this list due to space constraints, it's worth noting that there are also numerous Star Wars games on the Switch, which fall under the Disney banner.

Which Disney Game Is Worth Playing in 2025?

When considering which Disney game to dive into in 2025, the combination of Disney's renowned brand and the premium pricing of Switch games means not all titles are worth the investment at their current prices. However, one game stands out as a must-play for those seeking to immerse themselves in the Disney universe: Disney Dreamlight Valley. This game, reminiscent of Animal Crossing, invites you to rebuild Dreamlight Valley alongside a diverse cast of Disney and Pixar characters, each with unique questlines that enrich your experience.
