"The launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 has disrupted game rankings as older titles, especially The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, receive upgrades for the new console."
"Breath of the Wild's upgrades for the Switch 2 have allowed it to regain critical acclaim, securing the top ranking in MetaCritic's 2025 list alongside new release Expedition 33."
The Nintendo Switch 2's launch has significantly impacted game rankings, particularly benefiting older titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Originally released in 2017, Breath of the Wild has been upgraded for the new console, prompting its rise to the top of MetaCritic's 2025 highest-rated games list. Alongside newer titles such as Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which has equally high ratings, Breath of the Wild's resurgence showcases how re-releases can dominate critical scores despite being older games. The market anticipates further updates with the upcoming Switch 2 Edition of its sequel, Tears of the Kingdom.
