Endless Ocean: Luminous has been temporarily removed from the Nintendo Switch eShop, leaving some fans wondering if the title has been quietly shelved. Fortunately, that’s not the case. The game has not been canceled or permanently delisted—it’s simply been pulled due to a known compatibility issue with the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 hardware.
According to community reports and Nintendo’s support listings, Endless Ocean: Luminous encounters issues that affect progression when played on the newer system. To prevent a poor user experience, Nintendo has taken the game off the store for now while the developers work on a fix. This is a common move from Nintendo when a title isn’t functioning properly on next-gen hardware, especially with digital titles.
If you already purchased the game digitally, there’s no need to worry. You can still redownload and play it on your current Nintendo Switch, Switch OLED, or Switch Lite without any issues. The removal only affects new purchases, meaning existing owners retain full access to the game.
The good news is that the game is still marked as “future eligible” for Nintendo’s game voucher system on Switch 2, suggesting that a compatibility patch is in development. Once the issue is resolved, it’s expected that the game will quietly return to the eShop and become available again for both old and new players.
In short, Endless Ocean: Luminous isn’t gone—it’s just taking a brief dip below the surface until it’s ready to resurface with Switch 2 support. Fans can expect it to make a full return once the technical hiccups are addressed.
