Ever since the console’s release, Nintendo and other developers have been steadily working to ensure Switch 1 games run properly on the Switch 2, as the latter does not support running Switch games natively. They also opened a new website that will allow players to check whether their Switch 1 games run on Switch 2. If you previously had a game that was marked as having issues, it may be worth checking the site from time to time to see if it has been fixed.
