The Nintendo Switch 2 is backwards compatible, meaning you'll be able to tuck into your existing game library on the new-gen console. The Switch 2 is just that - a sequel to the beloved console we already have. For that to be true, though, Nintendo had to make sure existing owners would be able to experience their games on the upgraded hardware, and that's exactly what's happening.
However, it's not all plain sailing. As we've seen with the PS5, next-gen upgrades of existing games are going to be a thing, and to really get the "best performance" out of some of your existing Switch library, a $10 upgrade fee is what you'll need to pay for the Switch 2 editions of your favorite games.
