The Nintendo Switch is still a force in the console market. With record-breaking sales at launch, a smattering ofexcellent exclusives, and a massive library of wonderful indies, the Switch has become quite the juggernaut. Online multiplayer hasn’t quite gotten on the same level as PlayStation and Xbox, though. Even with its dedicated Nintendo Switch Online subscription program, the Switch still lags behind the competition. The install base, however, is huge, making it a great place to play online games, even if the infrastructure isn’t as feature rich. Additionally, a growing number of games feature crossplay support with Xbox, PlayStation, PC, and sometimes even mobile.

Normally, cross-saving games don’t have a decent online mode that would encourage crossplay. But the ability to load your save states onto a PC edition of a Switch game is surprisingly useful. Here are some titles that support save file transfers across your Nintendo Switch and PC.

Aside from playing online with users on different platforms, a handful of Nintendo Switch games offer cross-progression support.

That way, you can easily move from platform to platform without losing your progress.
These are the Nintendo Switch titles that support cross-progression with other platforms:
- Dauntless
- Fortnite
- Paladins
- Realm Royale
- Rocket League
- Rogue Company
- SMITE

The Nintendo Switch games with the best graphics
Look,no one is going to argue that the Nintendo Switch is a graphical powerhouse on par with other modern consoles. Released in 2017 as a hybrid device, its lower specs make sense, of course, given that Nintendo designed the Switch to function as both a home entertainment system and a handheld. Even without stellar visuals, it still bringsa bevy of riveting single-player experiences alongside plenty of beloved multiplayer titles.
The console's successor will no doubt sport better specs, so there are certain to be even nicer visuals on the way. But in the meantime, many developers have found ways to pull off some visually impressive titles on the Nintendo Switch despite its lower-end hardware, including some upcoming titles that are looking quite promising. Here are some of the Nintendo Switch games with the best graphics.

Nintendo Switch 2: everything we know so far
Rumors of a Nintendo Switch 2 have been circulating for years. Whispers of the next-gen Nintendo console first started when The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was initially teased in 2019, then gained steam when the Switch OLED launched in 2021. Now that Nintendo has properly confirmed that it's working on a new console, rumors have only gotten more frequent. We've even hit the point where we're seeing more credible photos and spec leaks trickle out.
There's no doubt that the Nintendo Switch is a fantastic console -- it has a unique and impressive game library (with more upcoming games slated for this year), the number of features included with Nintendo Switch Online is constantly improving, and it's still our favorite portable console -- but it isn't without its flaws. There's enough room for improvement to warrant an entirely new console in the near future.
