Disney, the entertainment giant, has a long and rich history in video games, spanning movie adaptations and original titles like *Kingdom Hearts* and *Epic Mickey*. Over the past few years, a number of Disney games have graced the Nintendo Switch, offering family-friendly fun and solo adventures alike. Whether you're unwinding after a Disney+ binge or returning from a magical theme park visit, there's a Disney game on the Switch for you. Let's explore them, in release order.
How Many Disney Games Are on the Nintendo Switch?
Defining what constitutes a "Disney" game can be tricky these days. However, a total of 11 Disney games have launched on the Switch since its 2017 release. This includes movie tie-ins, a Kingdom Hearts spin-off, and a collection of classic Disney titles. (Note: Numerous Star Wars games, also under the Disney umbrella, are available on the Switch but are excluded here for brevity.)
Which Disney Game Is Worth Playing in 2025?
Not all Disney games are created equal, and the combination of the Disney brand and often higher Nintendo Switch game prices means careful consideration is needed. However, some recent releases stand out. If you're seeking an immersive Disney experience, *Disney Dreamlight Valley* is a top contender. This *Animal Crossing*-esque title lets you rebuild Dreamlight Valley alongside beloved Disney and Pixar characters, each with their own unique quests.
