Riders Republic is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on December 9, along with an offline mode for all platforms
Ubisoft has announced the release date for Riders Republic on Nintendo Switch 2 as December 9, 2026. The open-world extreme sports game was originally released in October 2021 on PC, PlayStation and Xbox, and is now coming to the Nintendo console.
The main thing is offline mode
The Switch 2 port will be released simultaneously with a major update for all platforms. Its main news is a full-fledged offline mode: before this, Riders Republic required a constant connection to the network, even for a single-player game. In addition, the game will receive Steam Deck Verified status, so owners of a portable PC will be able to run it without any additional settings.
- Seven disciplines - bike, ski, snowboard, wingsuit, rocket wingsuit, snowskate and skiff.
- Mass races - races for up to 64 participants on one track.
- One open world - US national parks, including Yosemite, Bryce Canyon and Zion.
Seasonal start
The Switch 2 version will retain the modes of its console counterparts, including career, multiplayer and seasonal events. The release coincides with the winter season of the game, so immediately after the start, players will be treated to snow-covered slopes and festive activities.
