Microsoft and Mojang’s evergreen Minecraft game is seemingly getting a native Nintendo Switch 2 version soon, according to the game’s recent rating by the ESRB. The ESRB lists a new Everyone 10+ rating for Minecraft on Nintendo Switch 2 with a rating summary describing the title.
Here’s the full rating summary from the ESRB:
Minecraft is rated E10+ for Everyone 10+ by the ESRB with Fantasy Violence. Also includes Users Interact and In-Game Purchases. This is a sandbox adventure game in which players explore and mine/harvest cube-shaped materials. From a first-person perspective, players traverse pixilated open-world landscapes, avoid hazards, build structures, and craft potions and weapons (e.g., swords, axes, bows, magic staffs). Players are occasionally prompted to defend against enemies (e.g., zombies, skeletons, wizards/mages) by striking them repeatedly until they collapse. Players can also use weapons against animals and villagers, though these acts are not encouraged. Fighting is highlighted by short cries/grunts of pain, impact sounds, and occasional explosions.
A Nintendo Switch 2 version of Minecraft has not been announced at the time of this writing, but an announcement could be made this month. There will be many notable gaming events on the horizon, including Summer Game Fest 2026 and a potential June Nintendo Direct.
Mojang is also working on Minecraft Dungeons II, which will release in 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam and Windows.
