When Astroneer was announced for Switch this past summer, it already had a confirmed January 2022 release window. Today, developer System Era Softworks revealed a final date of January 13, 2022. Additionally, a physical version is confirmed with Gearbox Publishing handling distribution at a later date (currently estimated for February).
Astroneer for Switch is described as “the complete experience, including the brand-new Xenobiology update that will introduce mysterious creatures and new adventures.” Here players will go on “a narrative focused mission all over the solar system to discover the secrets behind these curious cephalopods.” Astroneer has been “thoroughly reworked” on Switch “to ensure a great performing experience” and there’s support for local multiplayer.
