Factorio Switch 2 Edition Announced as Free Upgrade, Space Age DLC Targets December

Wube Software pairs a no-cost hardware overhaul with a $35 expansion that mirrors the PC content.

Overview

  • The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition boosts resolution to native 1080p in handheld and up to 4K when docked, adds variable refresh rate, and improves animations, sprites, and loading times.
  • Existing Switch owners receive the upgraded version at no charge, while new buyers can purchase a bundle that includes the game with the Switch 2 Edition.
  • The Space Age expansion is planned to launch on Switch 2 alongside the upgrade for $35, delivering the same content as on PC.
  • Input enhancements include a mouse mode using the Joy-Con Mouse Sensor, with initial gameplay footage released by the developer.
  • Wube Software is aiming for a December rollout for both releases, though certification and eShop setup could delay the final date, which remains unannounced.
