The release of Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition for the Nintendo Switch 2 has been pushed back to 2026, according to a recent announcement. It was originally planned for release in 2025.
Development of Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition for the Nintendo Switch 2 has hit a few snags. A recent demo shown at Gamescom 2025 revealed noticeable drops in the game’s framerate, leading the developers to decide they need more time to polish the game before its release.
Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition Release Pushed to 2026, Date Still Unconfirmed
An official post on the Elden Ring X (formerly Twitter) account announced that the release of the Tarnished Edition will be delayed until 2026. While development is progressing well, the extra time will allow the team to fine-tune performance. The developers apologized for the delay and expressed their gratitude for fans’ continued patience and support.
We’re still working hard on #ELDENRING Tarnished Edition, but we’ve decided to delay its release until 2026. This will give us more time to improve performance and make the game the best it can be. We know this is disappointing for those eagerly awaiting the game, and we appreciate your understanding and continued support.

Delaying the release of Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition was a smart move. The game was experiencing significant performance problems, with players reporting very low framerates – sometimes as low as 15 frames per second – even during basic gameplay. These issues worsened when exploring the open world. The extra development time will allow the team to improve performance and deliver a more polished and stable game.
