It’s now confirmed: a fresh Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase presentation will air this week, featuring updates on Switch and Switch 2 games from third-party publishers.
Nintendo announced the broadcast on social media today, and confirmed the show will last 25 minutes.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow, Thursday July 31 at 6am Pacific / 9am Eastern / 2pm UK time — and, as ever, IGN will be reporting on all of the announcements as they happen.
Join us for a #NintendoDirect Partner Showcase tomorrow, July 31, at 6am PT! Tune in for roughly 25 minutes of information on upcoming #NintendoSwitch2 and #NintendoSwitch games from our publishing partners.

With Switch 2 launched, alongside Mario Kart World and brilliant new platformer Donkey Kong Bananza, attention now turns to the rest of the new console’s first year on sale — and support from the platform’s third-party publishers.
As a Partner Showcase event, tomorrow’s broadcast will likely feature no new games from Nintendo itself. Instead, be on the lookout for more news on games coming from other publishers. Switch 2 already has solid support, with upcoming big hitters such as Borderlands 4 and 007 First Light previously confirmed for the platform. But what else might tomorrow bring?
Could we see more of Hollow Knight Silksong, perhaps, before its playable demo at Gamescom — and maybe even get a release date? Will FromSoftware show more of its Switch 2 exclusive The Duskbloods, set for arrival in 2026? And might Activision finally tell everyone what’s going on with Call of Duty coming to Nintendo platforms?
Time, and also this Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase, will tell. See you tomorrow!
