Rugby League Raw on Switch — bone-rattling footy done right
Share
The first-ever Rugby League game built for Nintendo Switch had a lot to prove, and after a full season with it we're happy to report it delivers where it counts: on the field. The tackling is weighty, the kicking game rewards timing, and the AI commentary genuinely lifts the big moments.
Gameplay that respects the sport
Every tackle has a sense of impact, and the kicking and passing systems give you real control over how you build a set. It's approachable enough for a quick couch game, but there's enough depth in the tackle and positioning mechanics to keep league diehards busy.
Career and Be a Pro
Career Mode lets you manage your squad, nurture rising stars and chase championships season after season. Prefer to focus on one player? Be a Pro Mode puts you in the boots of a single athlete and lets you build your own rugby league legacy.
The verdict
For $39.95 on a physical cartridge — no downloads, no fuss — Rugby League Raw is an easy recommendation for any footy fan with a Switch. It's the most complete league experience on the handheld, full stop.
