SEGA and Two Point Studios have today revealed that Two Point Hospital will be making its way to Switch and other consoles later this year.
If you've missed out on this one in the past, the game released in August last year, serving as a spiritual successor to 1997 PC game, Theme Hospital. A business simulation title, Two Point Hospital has you building and operating an empire of hospitals, all with the aim of curing patients of their ridiculous, comical conditions.
A press release for the announcement says that the console version is coming off the back of "an exceedingly successful PC launch". Mark Webley, Game Director at Two Point Studios, has shared the following:
“Bringing Two Point Hospital to console is something we always envisioned when starting up Two Point Studios in 2016. Our community’s number one question since launch has been: ‘when is Two Point Hospital coming to consoles?’. Well, it is happening and we are very excited.”
We'll leave you with these Switch screenshots of the game. No release date beyond "late 2019" has been set just yet, but we do know it'll feature two expansions and "a fully revamped user experience" for consoles.
Excited for this one? Let us know with a comment below.

YES! Give it to me now, take all my money!
Yes. This is exactly what I wanted.
Now let's just wait to see how they'll handle the gamepad/touchscreen.
Yes from me! Sega is just killing it recently, can't wait for what's next!
Got it on Steam on release... but a physical copy on Switch? Yup, gonna have to buy!
It was surely only a matter of time until this made the jump to Switch. I'm amazed it's taken this long really as it seems absolutely perfect for the system.
i'm all over this!!!
OUTSTANDING!
Played Theme Hospital a lot as a kid and I still go back to it quite frequently. Haven't played Two Point Hospital since I was hoping for console release. Glad to hear it's coming.
My patients are Mummies ?!
Amazing news! I've always wanted this to come to Switch. Day one purchase for sure 🙂
OMFGThisisamazingnewsGiveittomeNOW
Holy. THIS is what I've been wishing for more than anything else since said game came to PC. My only concern now is we get a solid port akin Diablo III and not what we got with Bloodstained.
I’d really like this but not sure how the controls would work
This game reminds me of Theme Hospital. And that game was awesome. And this game looks fantastic. Day 1 purchase.
Will buy this physical if available in the UK, been waiting for a switch announcement!
Instabuy for me too, can't wait!
Was waiting for this to show up. Will pick this up
@SpicyBurrito16 Well it is by the same people whom worked on Theme Hospital. And I bought it day one on PC and loved every minute of it.
...does anyone here even remember theme hospital?
I HAVE GOT TO PLAY THIS!
Am I really the only dude who hadn't had a single clue over this other than the jaws make the characters look like the missing link?
I understand that Homer meme now.
Very cool, this was well received by the influencers I follow.
I remember I said like want to see port of Two-Point Hospital for the Nintendo Switch some time ago and now it looks my wish came true.
I saw this drop in my mailbox and I'm really excited, this game looks awesome!
I have no idea how well this will play with a controller, but the game itself is a gem.
I love these kind of games, but generally tend to stick to PC to play them, the controls don't tend to translate too well but I hope I'm proven wrong!
Held of buying this in the Steam sale in the hope this might come! Really pleased to hear this news today. Physical day one for me.
Absolutely loved Theme hospital back in the Day! Never got a chance to play TPH on the PC het but if seems awesome. Perfect pickup for switch! Physical release please!
Definite Aardman vibe on the illustrative characters.
Yes! I almost bought a computer just to play this 😅 Glad I didn’t now
Loved Theme Hospital and I'm sure I'll enjoy this one too, but as a near fully portable Switch player, I'm wondering if I'm best off just picking it up for PC. These kind of games are so much easier with a mouse and a lot of screen real estate.
YES! Thank God I didn't buy it in the Steam sale. (I'd rather have portability than a really low price)
This is how you do it, enjoyed this alot on steam its a fantastic theme hosptial sucessor
Funny I was just thinking how ideal this would be on switch the other day, cant wait to try touchscreen controls..
and a physical release too?! Count me in, I hope the physical edition includes the dlc/expansions too
@FragRed
Wow, the original team? I didn’t know that. That’s awesome.
Looks great.
I just hope that the expansion content is on the cartridge.
@presenttense Precisely, they shud really b trying 2 sort out that issue as we draw closer to 2020, PC still has the upper hand on that front...
