"Nintendo Switch 2 owners can forget about seeing Baldur's Gate 3 in the Nintendo Store, at least as of now.

As cryptic as that may sound, Vicke's response hints that either Wizards of the Coast, which owns the Dungeons and Dragons IP"
"On the other hand, Larian Studios' technical director, Bert van Semmertier, revealed in a response to another AMA question that the studio just released Divinity: Original Sin 2 on the Switch 2, adding that "we love the platform and we will certainly consider Switch 2 for the next Divinity game." There's still a chance that Wizards of the Coast decides to hire another studio to pursue a port in the future, but there's been no indication yet."
Baldur's Gate 3 is currently unavailable on Nintendo Switch 2 because the port decision rests with external parties rather than Larian Studios. The decision may involve Wizards of the Coast or Nintendo, and rumors suggest a strained relationship between Larian and Wizards of the Coast. Larian released Divinity: Original Sin 2 on Switch 2 and indicated consideration of the platform for future Divinity titles. There remains a possibility that Wizards of the Coast could hire another studio to produce a Switch 2 port. Larian will not develop major content updates, expansions, or a sequel for Baldur's Gate 3.
