After A Small Delay, Gang Beasts Is Now Available On Switch

Physical release coming soon

by Ryan Craddock Tue 12th Oct 2021

As promised, multiplayer party hit Gang Beasts is now available on the Nintendo eShop following a small delay.

Originally destined to launch for Switch last week, the game is now available to pick up for $29.99 / €29,99 / £24.99. You've probably heard all about the game already, but just in case, here's a recap:

Gang Beasts is a silly multiplayer party game with surly gelatinous characters, brutal slapstick fight sequences, and absurd hazardous environments, set in the mean streets of Beef City.

Customise your character and fight local and online enemies in the melee game mode or fight with friends against the gangs of Beef City in the gang game mode.

Gang Beasts is made by Boneloaf, a small independent game studio making a series of experimental multiplayer party games.

Don't forget that a physical version of the game is also on the way, so if you'd rather hold out for that, keep an eye out in stores from 7th December. The physical release will include an exclusive collectible sticker sheet and will be priced at $34.99 / €34.99 / £29.99.

Will you be checking out Gang Beasts? We'll have a review of the game for you as soon as we can, so make sure to stick around for that if you're wanting to learn more before diving in.

Ryan can list the first 151 Pokémon all in order off by heart – a feat he calls his ‘party trick’ despite being the biggest introvert we know.

@PickledKong Yeah was interested in this back in the day after watching PewDiePie and Marzia play it, but that was my concern as well. Not a good enough game to play low res/low frame rate.

I'll wait for reviews to see if they did a good work porting it. Still, I'll probably get it on a sale as I already have it on PS4.

Yeah... this game pushed the original Xbox One to its limits with the physics calculations, which made the framerate terrible most of the time. Still a fun party game, but I'm super curious to see the framerate and how stable it is on the Switch.

I got the game as it just costs 5 pesos (20 pesos are one dollar), I think they made a mistake on the mexican eshop. I just tried it and it seems to run decently, I had one online battle with randoms and one online battle with my girlfriend without any problems.

I've played in on the PlayStation. It's fun if you have a group to play with it

@roy130390 Dude, i saw that too! Got the game with gold points for essentially free, changed the eshop from Korea to Mexico just for that, i think it's an error or something, but i got the game, im happy, it runs well, and it was only like 287 Won, which is 5 pesos, this is when Gold Points aren't as useless as i thought

@Bizaster I'd really like to pick up the physical version, the non-AAA always come with a bunch of goodies and i just love the case, but sadly, i just stick with the digital versions of those games, because, even if im more of a physical collector, the downloadable versions are always so much cheaper and convenient, and by the time the physical version comes out, it's already been months 😭

@Edwirichuu I'm glad that you could get it too mate! Same here, I used my points so it was completely free haha. Yeah, I also think it's a mistake, apparently it's only this cheap in Mexico and Argentina, at least from what I know.
