Dragon Quest XI S is receiving a new port for Switch 2, marking yet another platform release for the JRPG. The article compares visuals, performance, and features across multiple versions including PS4, PS5, Xbox, Steam, Switch, and Steam Deck to help players choose the best version to play in 2026.
Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age was ported to Switch 2, but the new version feels underwhelming despite the original being widely regarded as one of the finest modern JRPGs. The game was first announced for the original Switch and remains an excellent experience for newcomers, though this particular port is disappointing.
This week's Japanese game releases feature Silent Hill: Townfall and GOBBLE as major highlights, available across PlayStation 5, PC, and Nintendo Switch platforms. The week also includes Dragon Quest XI S for Switch 2 and CONTROL Resonant across multiple systems, with dozens of additional titles launching digitally and physically.
