Taiwan’s Digital Game Rating Committee has rated Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy for the Nintendo Switch 2. The listing was first spotted by Gematsu and does not carry an official release date. The “launch date” field in the rating simply reads “not approved.”
The rating lists Koch Media GmbH as the company behind the submission, and the platform is clearly noted as Switch 2. The game has been rated PG-12 in Taiwan due to violence and inappropriate language.
No official announcement has been made by Square Enix, Eidos-Montréal, Koch Media, or Nintendo.
Why This Rating Matters
The rating has drawn attention because the game previously came to the original Nintendo Switch only as a cloud-based version. A Switch 2 listing points to a possible native port, though that has not been confirmed.
The cloud version on Switch had serious issues: input lag, stuttering, resolution drops, full freezes, and disconnections were reported even on fast connections. A native Switch 2 version would avoid those problems entirely.
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy was developed by Eidos-Montréal and originally published by Square Enix. It launched on October 26, 2021, for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, along with a cloud version for the original Nintendo Switch.
The game puts players in control of Peter Quill, also known as Star-Lord, who leads the Guardians in an original story set after the Galactic War. It is a single-player, linear action-adventure title.
As of November 2022, the game had reached more than 8 million players across PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. Eidos-Montréal CEO Phil Rogers noted at the time that availability through Game Pass and PlayStation Plus helped drive player numbers.
Despite a positive critical reception, the game reportedly did not meet internal sales targets. In 2023, Disney’s head of gaming, Sean Shoptaw, said the company would be open to working with the studio again.
Switch 2 Third-Party Push
Nintendo has been actively pushing third-party support for the Switch 2. Games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Resident Evil Requiem have already arrived on the platform. A Guardians of the Galaxy port would add another notable title from a previous generation to that list.
Devil May Cry 5 is also among the games that have recently received a Switch 2 rating, showing a broader trend of older titles getting new ports to the console.
There is no confirmed release window for Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy on Switch 2 at this time.
