On what date did Rhythm Heaven Groove release worldwide?

Rhythm Heaven Groove released worldwide on July 2, 2026.

The game launched for Nintendo Switch as the fifth main entry in Nintendo’s Rhythm Heaven series. Its worldwide release date was announced after the game’s 2025 reveal, which initially gave only a 2026 window.

The date is easy to confuse with March 27, 2025, when Nintendo first announced the game, or April 9, 2026, when Nintendo publicized the final launch date. June 9, 2026, was not the worldwide release date.

Groove follows Rhythm Heaven Megamix, released for Nintendo 3DS in 2015, making the new game the series’ first new entry in more than a decade. It is also playable on Nintendo Switch 2 through compatibility.
