An updated Switch 2 release calendar entry on December 4 set a firm date for Warhammer 40,000 Rogue Trader on Nintendo Switch 2, listing December 11, 2025 as the launch. The game, developed by Owlcat Games and already available on other platforms, represents one of the more substantial Warhammer CRPGs to reach Nintendo hardware, and multiple release trackers and platform pages have corroborated a mid December window.

This arrival matters because it brings a narrative driven, single player role playing experience to Switch 2 at a time when the platform is seeing a cluster of major ports. Players who have been waiting to play Rogue Trader away from a PC or traditional console will now be able to access the title on Nintendo hardware. The timing also makes the game a practical purchase for holiday gifting and local store events that cater to tabletop and videogame crossover fans.

For consumers, verify platform pricing and pre order windows on your console store. The release calendar entry noted platform pricing guidance that has appeared across other listings, so check the Switch 2 store for final price, edition details, and any launch day discounts. Retailers and local game stores should confirm stock and digital code availability, especially for players who prefer physical editions or who run community events around new releases.

Technical expectations for any platform port can vary, so watch for performance notes and patch updates on launch day. The Switch 2 port will be joining a late 2025 wave of releases, so community reviews and performance reports will emerge quickly after December 11. Organize demo nights, campaign nights, or streaming sessions if you want to evaluate the port in person before committing to a purchase.

Keep an eye on your console store on December 11 for the official release, and consult platform pages and release trackers if the listing changes. The addition of Rogue Trader to Switch 2 expands the ways players can explore Warhammer 40,000 stories, and it refreshes the platform lineup with a deep single player role playing option just as holiday gaming ramps up.
