Switch 2 gets PC game streaming through CivSwitch (experimental)
On November 10, 2026, people who already use CivSwitch on Switch 2 gained a way to play, on the console and by streaming, the games that run on their own computer. Streaming, here, means the game stays on the PC and the picture is sent to Switch 2 over the network; a program on the computer is needed to send that picture. The app is called Moonlight-CivSwitch and is an experimental project by developer XITRIX. According to the author, the picture can reach 1080p at 60 frames per second, and the controls and vibration work.

The same developer also has a launcher for opening CivSwitch apps, still without a released version. To use the streaming, you need the physical Civilization VII cartridge from the Switch 1 edition, version 1.0.0, with CivSwitch already set up. There is no confirmation that this works on firmware 23.5.0; see the news on that update and, if you want to keep CivSwitch access, do not update. Switch2Unlock does not provide games, keys or firmware, and this applies only to original games.
