Team Alto has announced that it will be bundling its award-winning games Alto's Adventure and Alto's Odyssey into one complete package, launching them on Switch as The Alto Collection.
The Alto games have you setting off on an endless snowboarding journey through beautiful landscapes such as villages, ancient woodlands, and long-abandoned ruins. The areas you explore are procedurally-generated, and it's said to feature "fluid, graceful and exhilarating physics-based" gameplay.
Here's an official description:
The Alto Collection brings both the critically acclaimed and beloved Alto’s Adventure and Alto’s Odyssey into one experience for the first time. A whole new group of players will finally be able to see what millions of others have discovered as they explore the ivory snows and the endless desert on the big screen in one collection.
Join mountain shepherd Alto and friends as they set out to rescue their escaped llamas and find the adventure of a lifetime. In this collection, you will journey across the beautiful alpine hills of their native wilderness and soar above windswept dunes in a fantastical place far from home. Each procedurally-generated run provides new inspiration and a fresh set of challenges that seamlessly blends our unique landscapes together.
"It’s such a thrill to see how far Alto has come from his humble beginnings," says Harry Nesbitt, Alto's lead artist and developer. "Even though Adventure started out life on a tiny screen, we’ve always believed the minimalist and immersive sensibilities of both games translate wonderfully to PC and consoles. We’re so happy to finally get this opportunity to share our games with a wider audience."
The collection launches on other consoles on 13th August for $9.99, and will "soon follow" on Nintendo Switch. We'll keep an eye out for more news on the Switch release over the coming weeks.

Loved it on Android.
Now bring Reckless Racing 3...
It’s just an endless runner.
I was so bored very quickly.
Looks amazing though!
@Friendly Endless games only keep me going until there's no more unockable unlockables or achievements. Still good though.
These are some of my favourite mobile games out there. Glad to see them on Switch!
I'll be having that
Proper happy about this. I’ve been really hoping the fabulous Alto’s Odyssey would come to Switch, but to get Alto’s Adventure as well is a real boon for casual gaming fans!
Looking for something super soothing to play? Get this on your wishlist!
@Grot Great point, man. I’m still trying to get the 50,000 skill points achievement on Alto’s Odyssey!
Easily two of the best 'mobile' games ever made.. Absolutely! Now let’s get Threes on Switch, please!
The music and atmosphere really help. It's a very zen experience and two of the best mobile games you can get. On console. Hmmm...
Not as over-priced as I thought they would make it.
$5 each is not bad. Really enjoyed these on Android. They will be a nice break in between all the 90s RPGs I've been playing on Switch.
Might get it. Had it on mobile back in 2016. Played 3 games and deleted because you had to watch video adverts to continue... yeah.
On my iPod its £4.99 each, so, not really any difference in price to the mobile versions.
Guessing its a one button game, to keep your other hand free....
@jimtendog mobile games and console games are different. While the mobile versions of alto are free, they include in-app purchases, unlike the console versions which do not include in app purchases so you get the full version by paying only once. Also there's work to do to port a mobile game to a console game.
