How Many Disney Games Grace the Nintendo Switch?
Defining "Disney" can be tricky these days, encompassing Pixar and other subsidiaries. However, eleven official Disney games have launched on the Switch since 2017. This excludes Star Wars titles, which also fall under the Disney umbrella.
The Best Disney Switch Game of 2025? Disney Dreamlight Valley
While many Disney Switch games offer enjoyable experiences, Disney Dreamlight Valley stands out. Its Animal Crossing-esque gameplay, featuring beloved Disney and Pixar characters and engaging quests, provides an immersive and charming experience.

All Disney & Pixar Switch Games (Release Order):
The first Disney game that launched on the Switch is technically a Pixar game that also overlapped with the Nintendo 3DS. In 2017, the media giant released a tie-in game for the movie Cars 3. Naturally, Cars 3: Driven to Win is a racing game featuring 20 tracks based on locations from the films (including Radiator Springs). The game also includes 20 customizable "characters," some that are automatically unlocked at the start, like Lightning McQueen, while others, like Mater and Chick Hicks, can only be unlocked by winning your way through the five game modes and various Master Events.

LEGO The Incredibles takes the plotlines of both Incredibles films, released 14 years apart, and merges them into one giant LEGO game. Much like the LEGO Star Wars games, LEGO The Incredibles contains some deviations from the original source material, like changes to the lore we don’t want to spoil for those who haven’t seen the films (even though you had nearly 20 years to do so), and adds original villains to fight along with Bomb Voyage, Syndrome, and the Underminer. But it’s fun to play through, especially seeing that the LEGO version of Elastigirl can stretch herself as far as her movie version can.

Disney Tsum Tsum Festival is a cute party game inspired by the Disney Tsum Tsum line of collectible toys and the mobile game from Japan, featuring all the Disney and Pixar characters in Tsum Tsum form. The game has 10 different minigames you can play alone or with family and friends, including bubble hockey, curling, and ice cream stacker, among others. You can even play the classic mobile puzzle game with the Switch in a vertical position.

Disney Classic Games Collection is an updated edition of 2019’s Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King (a mouthful of a title) that includes the Final Cut of Aladdin and the console and handheld versions of The Jungle Book. It has an interactive museum, a rewind function to correct gameplay mistakes, an expanded soundtrack, and a retro-style manual for one of the three games if you buy a physical copy.

In hindsight, Disney's Magical World series feels a bit like the precursor to Dreamlight Valley. Originally released for the 3DS, the first two Magical World games let players befriend and complete quests for Disney and Pixar characters with additional farming, crafting, and even combat mechanics. Magical World 2: Enchanted Edition is a remaster of the second game in the series released specifically for the Nintendo Switch. Like Animal Crossing, the game syncs to your device's clock for seasonal events and quest refreshes.

Tron: Identity is a visual novel that differentiates itself from other games adapted from the Tron franchise. It reveals another facet of life on the Grid without involving characters from the films, as it is set thousands of years after the events of Tron: Legacy. The game centers on a program named Query, a detective assigned to investigate an explosion in the vault of the Repository, a secure building in the center of the Grid. As the mystery unfolds, the other programs you interact with pose more questions than answers.
2023 was a big year for Disney games, but the first release from that year flew a little under the radar. Disney Speedstorm is a kart racing game featuring some brawling mechanics and, of course, a pretty extensive lineup of Disney characters with unique skills and their own personalized vehicles. Characters are pulled from everything under Disney's umbrella, from the emotions of the Inside Out movies to Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean. While the racing mechanics are relatively solid, IGN's Early Access review of the game comments on the "absurd" token systems and "gacha-like" in-game economies.
Mickey Mouse’s latest gaming adventure from Disney Interactive and Dlala Studios sees him, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy travel to the mysterious Monoth Island for a picnic that turns into a high-stakes mission to recover the three stolen Tomes of Knowledge that helps protect the island. Whether you’re playing in single-player or co-op mode with three additional players, you can play as either character and navigate the island Metroidvania style.

Disney Dreamlight Valley is a life sim from Gameloft that is basically Disney meets Animal Crossing, where you get to live, work, and play alongside your favorite Disney characters. You play as a human who arrives at the titular Dreamlight Valley, which has been gripped by the Night Thorns, leading to The Forgetting. This supernatural event caused the Disney characters who stayed in the valley to lose their memories while others returned to their home worlds for safety.

The most recent Disney game on the Switch, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a remaster of the original Epic Mickey game that launched on the Wii in 2010. Smoother performance, enhanced graphics, and new abilities make the platformer an overall improvement over its predecessor. Take on the lofty role of Mickey Mouse as you try to stop the "Blot" from destroying the memories of forgotten characters, traversing darker-than-usual Disney environments and, of course, enlisting the helpful of friendly faces along the way.
