Tune in to Nintendo’s regional YouTube channels to watch live Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase.
Nintendo has officially confirmed the date and time for its next Nintendo Direct showcase, and fans won’t have to wait long to tune in. The highly anticipated presentation will air on July 31, 2025, going live at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET / 2 PM BST / 3 PM CEST across Nintendo’s regional YouTube channels.
The upcoming Nintendo Direct will run for approximately 25 minutes, focusing primarily on third-party and partner titles rather than first-party exclusives. While this format indicates it won’t be a full-scale Direct, gamers can still expect a wave of exciting announcements, including updates on upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 titles and possible surprise reveals for late 2025 and 2026.
With the Nintendo Switch 2 on the horizon, many fans are hoping for fresh trailers or gameplay for previously teased games, alongside announcements of brand-new third-party releases heading to Nintendo’s platforms.
Third-party developers are also expected to make an appearance, with announcements likely covering major cross-platform titles and indie hits slated for late 2025 and 2026. In addition, Nintendo is expected to share more information about upcoming DLC expansions for popular games like Pokémon Scarlet & Violet and Splatoon 3, along with updates for its Nintendo Switch Online service, including retro game additions.
Fans can watch the event live on Nintendo’s official YouTube channels, with on-demand replays available shortly after the stream ends.
