Minecraft for Nintendo Switch 2 arrives Oct. 27!

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 the Nintendo Switch™ 2 system on Oct. 27! 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, Nintendo Switch 2 renders the world of Minecraft to lush life with Vibrant Visuals* when set as the default visual experience. This means enhanced lighting, shadow effects, and more. 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 the Nintendo Switch system, 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 Oct 27!

*Vibrant Visuals not available in some gameplay, including split-screen and when using certain Marketplace Worlds and content.
