Goat Simulator 3 getting new Nintendo Switch 2 version

Goat Simulator 3 is gracing another Nintendo platform with a brand new Switch 2 version. Announced today, it’s due out on April 1, 2026.

Goat Simulator 3 previously hit the original Nintendo Switch a couple of years ago. On the new system, the title should look and run a bit better.

Here’s an official overview:

Venture forth into Goat Simulator 3, the baa-rilliant sequel to 2014’s Goat Simulator that puts you back into the hooves of Pilgor the Goat.

Begin your whirlwind adventure on the sandbox island of San Angora. Lick, headbutt, and crash your way through an open world full of quests to solve, secrets to uncover, and NPCs to terrorise. We won’t tell you how to play (except in the tutorial), but provide the means to be the goat of your dreams.

If your dreams contain more than one goat, then we have good news! In Goat Simulator 3 on Nintendo Switch 2, you can invite a friend in local or online co-op to explore the island as a duo, create carnage, and compete in mini-games. And don’t worry, there are plenty of customisation options to make sure you don’t wear clashing outfits.

Goat Simulator 3 first launched in November 2022, and since then has added a host of seasonal content, which is all included on Nintendo Switch 2!

Key Features
