Outer Wilds finally launches on Switch next month
Indie darling Outer Wilds finally has a Nintendo Switch release date: 7th December 2023.
We've been waiting years for the Nintendo Switch edition of the accalaimed sci-fi game to finally arrive — now, it's less than a month away.
Outer Wilds: Archeologist Edition, as this version is known, wraps in the game's Echoes of the Eye expansion. Pre-orders begin later today via the Nintendo eShop.
For fans of boxes, a physical version of the game will launch sometime in 2024.
Here's a quick look at how Outer Worlds looks on Nintendo Switch, in this trailer shared by Nintendo:
