Whether you come in peace or prefer to be firing your lasers, the Nintendo Switch offers plenty of incredible space and sci-fi game escapades.

Even with the Switch 2 now out, its predecessor will still be around for a while. The Nintendo Switch has a library loaded with first-party hits, notable ports, and multiplatform releases across all genres to keep sci-fi fans happy. All of these games will be compatible with the Switch 2, thanks to the console's backwards compatibility, too.
