Annapurna Brings Five Games to Switch 2 as Two Go Live With Free Upgrades

The rollout shows Annapurna using Switch 2’s higher frame rates to refresh older hits with sharper visuals plus straightforward upgrades.

Overview

  • Annapurna Interactive, which announced five Switch 2 editions Thursday, released Sayonara Wild Hearts and Lorelei and the Laser Eyes on the eShop with free upgrades for existing Switch owners.
  • Both titles add performance modes that hit 1080p at 120fps in handheld or 1440p at 120fps or 4K at 60fps when docked, with Sayonara also getting a new Remix Arcade high-score mode.
  • Stray lands May 28 for $29.99 with 4K support, a steadier frame rate, and mouse controls, while To a T arrives June 11 for $19.99 and Wanderstop follows June 23 for $24.99 on Switch 2 and Switch.
  • Regional details vary as Japan’s eShop surfaced listings first with a 100‑yen upgrade path, while Western pages are rolling out and Stray’s upgrade policy for prior Switch buyers remains unconfirmed.
  • The plan underscores a broader back‑catalog strategy that showcases the Switch 2’s 120Hz and 4K options, giving players smoother play, sharper images, and in some cases new content without rebuying.
