With such a robust lineup of new indie games, the Nintendo Switch 2's indie library is set to grow even more diverse and exciting through 2025 and beyond.
Technology plays a significant role in the upcoming games as many of the titles, such as Mina the Hollower, Ultimate Sheep Raccoon, UFO 50, Glacier, and UFO 50, will be available on the Nintendo Switch 2.
