Before Pok\u00e9mon Pokopia<\/a> arrived on the Switch 2, Omega Force had worked on the Dragon Quest Builders<\/a> series. If you have been looking for an excuse to return to Square Enix’s first entry, which was made available for the Switch in 2018, we’ve got some good news.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Dragon Quest Builders<\/a> received its first update for the Switch, bumping it up to Version 1.0.1<\/strong>. According to the patch notes on Nintendo’s support page, this addressed “several issues” to improve the overall gameplay experience.<\/p>\n

Now, according to Nintendo’s Switch 2 compatibility page<\/a>, as of 24th March 2026, this title is supported on the Switch 2, and the “game behavior is consistent with Nintendo Switch” after “previously identified issues have been resolved with an update”.<\/p>\n

When this opening entry originally arrived on the Switch, we called it “fun, empowering and Dragon Quest to a tee”, awarding it eight out of ten stars. And if you’re wondering, according to Nintendo’s compatibility page, Dragon Quest Builders 2<\/a> is also supported on the Switch 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This compatibility update for Dragon Quest Builders follows updates for multiple other Switch games<\/a> recently.<\/p>\n

Will you be revisiting Dragon Quest Builders any time soon? Are you still busy with Pok\u00e9mon Pokopia? Let us know in the comments.<\/p>\n
