Owners of the original Switch edition will be eligible for a free upgrade.
Wube Software has announced Factorio — Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. A firm release date for Nintendo’s new console has not been confirmed, but the developers say they plan to launch it “as soon as possible”, with a provisional target of December.
The Nintendo Switch 2 edition will include:
- Higher native resolution: the game will run at 1080p on the handheld display (up from 720p), while docked mode will support resolutions up to 2160p (4K).
- Variable refresh rate (VRR) support for the console’s screen.
- Refined animations and higher-resolution sprites.
- Additional visual enhancements.
- Faster loading times.
- Support for building substantially larger bases.
- Mouse input support.
The upgrade will be free for existing Factorio owners on Nintendo Switch; players who wish to support the developers can purchase the Space Age expansion.
