In today's Annapurna Interactive Showcase, the developers of the gorgeous, stupidly incredible Outer Wilds said that the game is still coming to Switch.
"You did not collectively hallucinate our announcement of Outer Wilds for the Nintendo Switch," said Mobius' spokesperson in the showcase. "It's possible that we were a bit over-optimistic on the time frame. At this point, it's possible that we just fundamentally misunderstand the Gregorian calendar."
Still, no exact update — although they also simultaneously announced an Xbox Series S|X and PS5 launch for the game on September 15th (in 60FPS, no less!), so here's hoping us Switch players don't get completely left behind.
Outer Wilds was first announced for the Nintendo Switch in February 2021 in a Nintendo Direct, for a Summer 2021 release. Obviously, that didn't happen, but at least now we know they didn't forget.

I thought the Outer Worlds was already on Switch. And isn't it published by Private Division and not Annapurna Interactive? Where are the guns? And I thought this was made by Obsidian, not Morbius Digital. Oh well.
🤩A new 'Outer Worlds' Game...?
...Oh! 😮💨
@HotGoomba YOU GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK, I thought I'd mixed them up (again)
Yeah, but where's the date KateGray!?!?
(I'm just being a smartass 😁)
You're correct Kate. "Outer Wilds" is not on the Switch. I've been waiting for that thing!
At this point, I'll probably just get it via Game Pass on my Xbox and play it that way.
I've been wondering what was happening after so long with radio silence with this so it's good to get an update. I don't mind them taking as long as they need with it to get it running well on the system. As long as it hasn't been canned and is still coming eventually, that's good enough for me.
I’d love me another Wouter Isles game.
This game is on my wishlist for a while but I want to play as many games on a portable system as I can.
Such a great game, played it on PS5 and liked it enough to Platinum it, it is the type of game where you are best off going into it knowing as little as possible because the game is all about exploring and learning about the solar system it takes place in.
I might bite on the Series X because I’ve heard nothing but good things about this game. I glad they’re taking their time with it though.
I thought it was on Switch already.
Me: HAHA, stupid game, your universe is so flawed. If I was to do this and this and this, based on the laws your established, it would create a paradox
Game: You have broken space time. Game over.
Me: Ok. Forgiven. Best lamp shading ever.
But seriously, great game everyone should play.
A port delayed from Summer 2021 with still no announcement (over a year now). That's a really long time and pretty disappointing.
Fine with me. Better to take their time and get it right than release a half finished game to be fixed through patches whenever they get around to it.
If it gets close to sWitcher 3 quality of performance, I'm in.
@kingbk If you have an Xbox Series s/x there's really no point in waiting for the Switch version unless you have some specific reason. I can't think of a good reason to wait
@BlueGBAMicro Way better than Outer Worlds. Not even in the same universe of quality.
@Switch_Pro Not in my opinion.
So according to DekuDeals.com Outer Wilds was supposed to release a couple of weeks ago..same with Hollow Knight: Silksong. Obviously that didn't happen...and then they removed the post for the release date so that's a big "F" to all us fans that have been waiting and waiting.
