Factorio Nintendo Switch 2 Edition announced

Another Nintendo Switch 2 Edition has been announced, and this time it’s for the construction and management sim Factorio. We don’t have a release date yet, but the team is currently targeting December.

Factorio Nintendo Switch 2 Edition will come with several improvements compared to the Switch 1 release. These are as follows:

• Better resolution. The game will run on the screen’s native 1080p resolution instead of 720p. When docked, it supports all resolutions, including 2160p (4K).
• Variable refresh rate support for the console’s screen.
• Some higher quality animations.
• Some higher resolution sprites.
• Other visual improvements.
• Faster loading times.
• Ability to build much larger bases.
• Mouse mode support. Using the Joy-Con Mouse Sensor, the left or right Joy-Con can be used as a mouse.

If you already purchased Factorio on Nintendo Switch, the Switch 2 upgrade will be free. It will launch at the same time as the Space Age DLC, and on Nintendo’s console, “nothing was removed or trimmed down” for the expansion.
