Warner Bros. Games, TT Games and the LEGO Group have confirmed the LEGO Harry Potter Collection is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on 16 October 2026, bundling both games and all DLC in a single package with pre-orders now open
The LEGO Harry Potter Collection is officially heading to Nintendo Switch 2, with Warner Bros. Games, TT Games and the LEGO Group confirming a 16 October 2026 release date. Announced during the Back to Hogwarts 2026 showcase, this marks the first time the complete collection will be available on Nintendo's next-generation hardware. Pre-orders for both physical and digital editions are now live, with the physical version set to include both games on a single key card.
What the Collection Includes
The LEGO Harry Potter Collection brings together LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 and LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7, covering all eight films in the series. Players can expect the familiar blend of puzzle-solving, spell-casting and light-hearted humour that has defined the LEGO games, with the added bonus of all previously released downloadable content. The included Character Pack features a range of notable characters such as Godric Gryffindor, Luna (Lion Head), and Peeves, while the Spell Pack adds spells like Cantis and Tentaclifors.
Development for the Switch 2 version is being handled by Double Eleven and Cast Iron Games, with TT Games remaining as the original developer and Warner Bros. Games as publisher. The collection is designed to offer the full experience in one package, making it accessible for both returning fans and newcomers to the series.
Gameplay and Platform Details
Both games in the collection follow the events of the Harry Potter films, allowing players to relive key moments from Harry's first year at Hogwarts through to the final confrontation with Lord Voldemort. The gameplay remains focused on cooperative play, exploration, and the signature LEGO approach to storytelling. The Switch 2 release is expected to support both handheld and docked modes, though specific technical enhancements or performance targets have not yet been detailed.
Physical and digital editions will launch simultaneously, with the physical edition confirmed to contain both games on a single key card. No information has been provided regarding exclusive features or platform-specific content for the Switch 2 version at this stage.
Release Timing and Franchise Context
The LEGO Harry Potter Collection has previously launched on other platforms, but this marks its debut on Nintendo Switch 2. The release date of 16 October 2026 positions it ahead of the holiday season, potentially making it a key title for families and franchise fans. All previously released DLC is included from day one, removing the need for additional purchases to access the full roster of characters and spells.
For those interested in how other franchises are expanding their content offerings, a recent update for Shujinkou added new Steam Achievements tied to DLC, as covered in our report on Shujinkou's latest content update.
What Remains Unconfirmed
While the announcement confirms the release date, included content and platform, several details remain unaddressed. There is no word yet on whether the Switch 2 version will feature technical upgrades such as higher resolution, improved frame rates or enhanced visual effects compared to previous releases. Pricing for each edition has not been disclosed, and there is no mention of early access or pre-load options. Players should also note that no hands-on previews or independent technical analyses have been published for the Switch 2 build at this time.
Further updates are likely as the release date approaches, particularly regarding performance targets and any unique features that may take advantage of the Switch 2 hardware.
Downloadable content, or DLC, refers to additional game content released after the main game, often including new characters, levels, or features. In the case of the LEGO Harry Potter Collection, all previously released DLC is bundled with the base games, meaning players receive the complete set of extra content without separate purchases. This approach can simplify the buying decision for players and ensures that everyone has access to the same gameplay features from launch.
