Minecraft is coming to Switch 2 on October 27
Minecraft for the Switch 2 feels like a perfect place for mouse controls, but Mojang hasn't said anything about that feature yet.
Minecraft, the best-selling video game of all time, will be making its debut on Nintendo Switch 2 on October 27, according to developer Mojang. Those who already own the Switch version of the game will have an upgrade path available, though details about this will be shared later on. The upcoming Switch 2 iteration of Minecraft is expected to feature improved visuals compared to its predecessor.
By default, the game will enable Vibrant Visuals, an enhanced graphics mode that was introduced last year. This mode includes directional lighting, volumetric fog, enhanced shadows, and more. Additionally, the exclusive Super Mario Mash-Up pack for Nintendo versions of Minecraft will also receive an upgrade with Vibrant Visuals.
However, it should be noted that Vibrant Visuals will not be accessible during split-screen play, and there may be certain game modes and content where this mode is not supported. The possibility of Joy-Con 2 mouse control support for the Switch 2 version remains unconfirmed, which could potentially provide players with a more precise building experience.
Minecraft Dungeons II, the latest spin-off in the series, will be released on PC and consoles, including Switch and Switch 2, on September 29.
