If you caught the Nintendo Indie World Showcase today, you saw that we are proud to announce that Astroneer will be coming to Nintendo Switch!

That’s right, we finally did it. We are actively working on a version of Astroneer that runs great on Nintendo Switch that will ship in early 2022. We have re-architected core systems specifically for the hardware to make sure you can enjoy the full Astroneer experience on the go, and we have worked to add functionality for Switch specific features like local co-op, support for the pro-controller & more. The Switch version will include all content that we have shipped to date, as well as a brand new update when it goes live.
