LEGO Party Switch 2 Version Spotted in ESRB Database
An ESRB rating for a Switch 2 version of LEGO Party has surfaced online, and a developer apparently teased the upgrade is coming very soon. Existing Switch owners may get it for free.
A Familiar Game Show Heads to a New Console
If you missed LEGO Party when it launched on Nintendo Switch last September, a second chance might be coming. As reported by Nintendo Life, an ESRB rating for a Switch 2 version of the game has surfaced, strongly suggesting the brick-stacking party title is headed to Nintendo’s newer hardware.
The rating is E for Everyone, carrying descriptors for Comic Mischief and Mild Fantasy Violence. That tracks with the game’s content: LEGO Party is a Mario Party-style multiplayer title developed by SMG Studio and published by Fictions, built around 60 minigames spread across competitive challenge zones. Players earn golden bricks competing in a game show format, jousting with lances, dodging bombs, and bumping opponents off platforms.
The ESRB rating summary, quoted in full by Nintendo Life, also flags some goofier moments. One sequence involves a player being ejected from the rear end of a cat-shaped rocket, complete with a host quipping, “Phew! They’re safe! Although that reminds me, I need to change my cat’s litter.” The summary notes that game show hosts’ banter “can also include bathroom humor” and offers a second example that is, shall we say, equally on-brand. You have been warned, and also possibly intrigued.
Developer Hints the Upgrade Is Close
The ESRB listing did not arrive alone. According to Nintendo Life, a developer has apparently mentioned on the LEGO Party subreddit that a Switch 2 version is coming “very soon.” More notably, the same source suggests it will be a free upgrade for players who already own the Switch version of the game. Nintendo Life has not independently confirmed that detail, so treat it as a promising rumor rather than a done deal for now.
The original Switch release launched September 30, 2025, at $39.99, and iam8bit produced a physical version of the game as well. The title earned “generally favorable” reviews on Metacritic and sits at “very positive” on Steam, according to Nintendo Life’s reporting.
What the Rating Actually Tells Us
ESRB ratings do not confirm release dates, platforms, or pricing. They do, however, require a submission from the developer or publisher, which means someone is actively preparing this version for release. A rating appearing without any announcement tends to be a reliable leading indicator that something is coming sooner rather than later.
For Switch 2 owners who have been looking for a couch co-op option with some brick-flavored chaos, LEGO Party fits a fairly specific niche. It is colorful, family-friendly, and built for multiple players in the same room, which suits the Switch 2’s setup nicely. The minigame structure and game show framing also give it a distinct enough personality to stand alongside bigger party titles rather than just imitate them.
Nintendo Life noted it will share more information about the Switch 2 version as it becomes available.
