Black Friday is basically the cosmic signal for gamers to start hoarding Nintendo Switch titles like winter squirrels, and this year’s deals are genuinely delicious. We’ve got major discounts across cosy life sims, high-octane racers, rhythm games, detective classics, and, of course, the ever-magnetic world of Disney magic. It’s great to see so many of the best Switch games included in the sales.
Leading the charge this year is Sonic Racing Crossworlds, a fresh spin on Sega’s iconic speedster, which has a decent discount despite only being a few months old. Beyond that, Black Friday is serving up the Disney Dreamlight Valley: Cozy Edition, the joyous chaos of Just Dance 2026, the pastel paradise of Hello Kitty Island Adventure, and the slick courtroom charisma of Ace Attorney Investigations. Check out all the most enticing Nintendo Switch deals below.
Sonic Racing CrossWorlds
The game’s discount isn’t just an excuse to impulse-buy; it’s an excuse to rediscover why kart racers with attitude always hit the spot on Switch. CrossWorlds is a vibrant blend of Sonic energy, tight drifting, and colourful tracks that will make you want to do just “one more” race. You can choose between no less than 23 characters from the Sonic universe (and beyond), 45 original vehicles plus a ton of gadgets, which all offer great variety in possible strategies. And of course, you can travel through different dimensions, which definitely spices things up. Whether you’re blasting through loops solo or trash-talking your friends in local multiplayer, it’s a perfect weekend fix. Its only flaw is the lack of Banjo-Kazooie… and Danica Patrick. You can get it with a nice 33% discount this Black Friday, at $39.99 instead of $59.99.
Disney Dreamlight Valley: Cozy Edition
My editor asked me to lead the article with Sonic. Yeah. Whatever. I listened because I don’t want to get fired. But Disney Dreamlight Valley is the real star here. Why? Because it’s the best game. There. Disney Dreamlight Valley: Cozy Edition is exactly what it sounds like: a giant warm hug of love, goodness, and glitter disguised as a life sim. Farming, cooking, crafting, decorating, the usual. You can even befriend Disney characters who somehow have more emotional availability than half the people on dating apps – it’s all here. This edition bundles extra goodies like a bunch of Moonstones that you can use to buy extra furniture or house skins to make your valley look gorgeous. If you need a soothing game to pair with your winter hibernation rituals. You also need the base game if you want to play the extensions, the latest one, Wishblossom Ranch, being just out! You can get the base game now for $29.93 instead of $39.99.
Just Dance 2026
Playing video games has plenty of benefits… but also some drawbacks. It is bad for your body. As they say, “sitting in the new smoking”. So what’s the best way to keep indulging in a game and treat your body nicely? Have a lil’ boogie. Just Dance 2026 allows you to move your body in a way that feels like cardio but also like you’re starring in your own music video. It gives you access to the newest playlist of bops, guilty pleasures, and “I swear I know this one” tracks. It’s ideal for parties, awkward family gatherings, or solo nights where you need to shake off the week’s weirdness. Because YES let’s normalise dancing alone at home please. The Switch is still the best platform for this series thanks to the Joy-Cons: it’s basically a dancing machine disguised as a console. You can now get it at half its usual price, $24.99 / £24.99 instead of $49.99 / £42.99.
Hello Kitty Island Adventure
Then there’s Hello Kitty Island Adventure, the famously adorable Apple Arcade hit that made its way to Switch. A discount this early is a delightful surprise. If you want a pure serotonin farm (pastel colours, wholesome exploration, cute friendships, zero chaos) this is the one. It’s Animal Crossing’s soft-hearted cousin who always remembers your birthday and brings you cookies.
It’s a genuinely thoughtful life sim full of exploration, home decoration, cosy quests, and surprisingly rich character interactions. The world feels like a pastel utopia that invites you to breathe out, slow down, and remember that tenderness is a valid gaming aesthetic. Get it now for $24.99 / £22.49 instead of $39,99 / £34.99.
Ace Attorney Investigations Collection
Finally, Ace Attorney Investigations lands a solid deal as well, giving mystery lovers the perfect excuse to dive back into Miles Edgeworth’s sharp logic and sharper shoulder pads. These cases are twisty, clever, and full of what we all love about Ace Attorney: courtroom drama, eccentric witnesses, and dialogue that feels like a chaotic stage play. Having the full Investigations set on Switch is already a gift; getting it discounted at $24.99 instead of $39.99 is just showing off.
Taken together, this year’s Black Friday deals are a cosy microcosm of what makes the Switch special: fast-paced party racers, peaceful life sims, narrative mysteries, rhythm chaos, and comforting cuteness. Whether you want speed, softness, or sheer silliness, there’s something calling your name from the sale page. Just make sure you don’t miss these discounts, because with it being Black Friday, they aren’t going to last for long.
