ESRB Rates Minecraft for Nintendo Switch 2 Ahead of June Reveals
A distinct Nintendo Switch 2 version of Minecraft received an ESRB rating, a listing spotted ahead of rumored June events including Summer Games Fest and a possible Nintendo Direct.
The Entertainment Software Rating Board posted a rating for Minecraft specifically listed for Nintendo Switch 2 on its website. The entry names a separate Switch 2 release rather than the existing Switch version.
The listing does not include a release date, price or feature list. The current Nintendo Switch version runs the Bedrock edition and is expected to remain playable on the next console, while the ESRB entry indicates a distinct Switch 2 build.
Minecraft is developed by Mojang Studios and published by Microsoft. A separate Switch 2 version would be a build created for Nintendo’s next hardware instead of only relying on backward compatibility.
Summer Games Fest is scheduled for early June, and there are ongoing reports of a Nintendo Direct in June. Both events have been used previously for hardware and game announcements.
The ESRB entry gives no technical specifics. Ports to newer consoles often aim for higher resolution, smoother frame rates and updates to controls or menus, so those types of changes are possible for a dedicated Switch 2 release.
No official confirmation or details have been released by Mojang, Microsoft or Nintendo. The ESRB listing is the main public record pointing to a separate Switch 2 version at the moment.
