Back in August, Risk of Rain 2 got a surprise release on the Switch eShop. Since then, the developer Hopoo Games has promised a number of free content updates for the game.
Starting later this month, the first major patch will be released for the console versions. This patch will include "bug fixes, performance updates, and a few QoL updates". Switch players will also receive support for gyroscopic aiming.
The patch was apparently sent to certification a few weeks ago, so it's expected to go live before the end of October. This will bump the Nintendo version of the game up to Version 1.0.2.
The patch after this one is planned for mid-December:
The next patch is, and includes the Skills 2.0 content update which will also come with the patch that came shortly after it was released on PC, addressing regen and bugs. ***This patch is currently in progress, and is planned to show up mid-December.
Here's the full roadmap:
Each season up until one final update in Summer 2020, players can enjoy new and returning Survivors, bosses, stages, and more.

Oooh! I was pestering Gearbox on Twitter for this in Bulletstorm. Glad to see it’s coming to Risk of Rain 2 at least (maybe Bulletstorm next?). That makes this game an automatic must buy, like most other Switch games which exclusively offer gyro aiming (which is fast becoming a defining selling point for me, even if two versions in one wasn’t the case).
I just wish they would wait with the physical version until the game is completely finished. Even Local Wireless is coming, awesome!
Excellent, gyro aiming is a necessity for me to be able to play the game. Hopefully it's actually good gyro aiming (like in Splatoon 2 for example) and not the unintuitive method where you have to twist the controller that some games have used lately, as I find that to be even worse than no gyro.
imo the only good gyro controls on the switch are Splatoon and Paladins, Warframe is decent and better then playing with sticks at least, but still not amazing. Fortnite got gyro for a while and i cant stand it, tried to setup but nothing works. And Realm Royale added it this month and its abysmal, which is weird because it uses the same engine as Paladins, hell at first was a mod from Paladins and not a standalone game, makes no sense that the gyro is so terrible. Might consider getting this with this update, IF the gyro controls are good.
Just waiting for that physical release next month. If my favorite Youtuber Mack of WAB says it's the "best game he has played in 2019", well then I'm onboard.
