Raiders is a released Switch 2 exclusive with a $49.99 US Nintendo list price.
Splatoon Raiders released July 23, 2026 for Nintendo Switch 2. Nintendo's current US digital list price is $49.99. It is not listed as an original Nintendo Switch game.
The platform distinction matters because “Nintendo Switch” can be used casually for both hardware generations. Check for the Switch 2 product label in the eShop and on any retail listing. A Nintendo Account alone does not make a Switch 2-only game run on older hardware.
The $49.99 figure is a US list price, not a promise for every region or sale period. Use the local Nintendo storefront for currency, tax, language, and availability. Nintendo's product page also lists supported play modes and storage details, which can differ slightly between regional listings.
