Hunting Games on Nintendo Switch
Search for a hunting game on Switch runs into a short shelf. The 2026 sims — Way of the Hunter 2 and Hunting Simulator 3 — list PC, PS5, and Xbox Series. Call of the Wild and Way of the Hunter do not add Switch on the pages I checked.

Confirmed Switch releases include Hunting Simulator 2 (Nintendo lists Switch 2 compatibility as Supported) and Big Buck Hunter: Ultimate Trophy (11 Apr 2025, $39.99), an arcade game, not a reserve sim. Older Cabela discs on Wii and DS are on Cabela's hunting games and classic hunting games. Ranked sims stay on best hunting games.
