Minecraft for Nintendo Switch™ 2 is coming October 27th!
Mark your calendars, Minecrafters

Imagine a town crier (me), rolling into a blocky village square with an equally blocky trumpet to announce some joyful news. Queue the fanfare: Minecraft is coming for Nintendo Switch™ 2 on October 27th! Can I get a very enthusiastic Hmmm??

Let me unfurl this metaphorical scroll a little to remind you why we’re all so excited. First, the Nintendo Switch™ 2 renders the world of Minecraft to lush life with Vibrant Visuals* – set as the default visual experience. This means enhanced lighting, shadow effects and more – and you can even enjoy Vibrant Visuals* enabled content across all the supported content in Minecraft Marketplace.

The much-loved Super Mario™ Mash-Up pack is also getting an update, to get the most out of those Vibrant Visuals* graphics. As a reminder, the Super Mario™ Mash-Up pack is exclusive to the Nintendo versions of Minecraft, bringing with it a custom Mario-themed world, music, and unique skins. Explore iconic locations like Peach’s castle and Delfino Plaza within Minecraft. Worlds collide!

For those of you who already own Minecraft on Nintendo Switch™, a digital upgrade path will be available for Nintendo Switch players. More details to follow.

Double dash, don’t run, and mark your calendars for October 27th!
