Rec Room out on Switch next week

Rec Room, the user-generated content (UGC) game, now has a release date on Switch and it’s probably closer than you’d think. It will be available on November 6, 2024.

Plans for the Switch version were confirmed in July. However, this is the first time we’ve been given any sort of launch window.

Here’s what to expect from the experience:

Rec Room is free-to-play and will offer Nintendo Switch players a unique social gaming experience where players can not only play but also create and share their own games. With millions of player-created rooms – ranging from escape rooms and racing challenges to PVP matches and more – players have endless opportunities to connect with friends and build their own worlds.

With more than 100 million lifetime users, players from across the world can create, share, and play games together across platforms. Whether on VR headsets, consoles, mobile devices or now the Nintendo Switch, Rec Room supports cross-play, ensuring players can enjoy the experience together no matter their device. Rec Room on the Nintendo Switch will also include integrated voice chat, allowing players to seamlessly communicate with friends in real-time as they collaborate, compete, and explore new adventures.

Rec Room CEO Nick Fajt said today: “We’ve dreamed about this moment for years and are honored to bring Rec Room to the Nintendo Switch. Nintendo has played a big role in my lifelong love of video games and I’m excited to be able to bring the fun and creativity of Rec Room to their platform.”

Rec Room will be distributed on the eShop, and by pre-registering on the official website here, players will receive an exclusive in-game reward at launch. Read up on our previous report from the summer here.
