Dying Light: Retouched Update Not Coming to Nintendo Switch
The highly anticipated Dying Light: Retouched update is set to launch tomorrow, bringing stunning visuals and remastered audio to players on PC and consoles. Unfortunately, Nintendo Switch players will be left out of the action.
In a recent inquiry by IGN, Techland confirmed that the Retouched update will not be available for Nintendo's hybrid console. A representative stated unequivocally, "The Dying Light: Retouched Update is not coming to Nintendo Switch." This news is particularly disappointing for fans who were hoping to experience the enhancements.
Dying Light's History on Nintendo Switch
Originally, Dying Light made its debut on the Switch in 2021 with the Platinum Edition bundle. Despite this release, its success has been hampered by a ban in Germany, preventing digital sales across Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
No Switch 2 Plans for Dying Light
Prospects for a future Switch 2 version of Dying Light also appear dim. Techland clarified, "We have no plans at this moment" for a Switch 2 port. Instead, they are diverting their efforts towards the upcoming Dying Light: The Beast, scheduled for release on August 22, 2025, exclusively for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Limited Support for Nintendo Users
Currently, Nintendo fans can only access Dying Light through the original Platinum Edition. The sequel, Dying Light 2: Stay Human – Cloud Version, was promised for the Switch in 2021 but was never released, leaving fans in limbo.
The Future of Dying Light on Nintendo?
As Dying Light: The Beast edges closer to its launch, Techland continues to express interest in making the game available on the Switch 2 in the future. However, as of now, there’s no further information on this possibility.
With the Retouched update launching tomorrow, fans across other platforms are gearing up for significant upgrades to the beloved zombie parkour game. Stay tuned for more details as they unfold!
