The official Nintendo support page for the Crunchyroll app on Nintendo Switch confirms that the app is being discontinued on October 30. This announcement only applies to the Nintendo Switch version of the Crunchyroll app, and unfortunately, Crunchyroll has yet to release a Nintendo Switch 2 version of the app.
According to Crunchyroll, Nintendo Switch 2 doesn’t support “several video-on-demand services,” which means the service cannot run on the platform at the moment. Crunchyroll doesn’t have any announcements to make at this time.
Here’s the FAQ involving the Crunchyroll app:
