Super Rare Games has announced that the foundations are set for a SteamWorld Build physical edition on Switch. What's more, this one will be springing up quickly, with pre-orders opening on 9th January and shipping expected in March 2025.
This is a Super Rare Games joint, so naturally, there are a handful of goodies thrown in with each purchase. The boxed copy will retail for £37.20 (or your regional equivalent), including interior art, a full-colour manual, an exclusive sticker, and three trading cards featuring some of the game's characters. And yes, the full game is included on the cartridge, so don't expect any of that 'code in a box' nonsense.
You'll be able to pre-order this one from the Super Rare Games website on 9th Jan at 6pm GMT / 10am PT / 1pm ET / 7pm CET. It's limited to 4,000 copies, so be sure to get in there quick if you fancy having the box on your shelf when March rolls around.
For those who missed it, SteamWorld Build is a mash-up of city-building and dungeon management, all set in the robo SteamWorld universe (known for its heists, digs and quests). It's a strong crossover, and one that we found really rather pleasant back in 2023, calling it "a triumph of mechanical marvellousness" in our review — which you can read in full below.
Will you be picking up this one when pre-orders open next week? Build your thoughts in the comments.

I love the Steamworld games, but this one really passed me by. I'll buy it up eventually, to complete my collection if nothing else.
A tremendous beginning to 2025 from one of the best boutique publishers in the limited release hustle.
"this week?" The 9th is this day, NEXT week 😆
When did Rising Star, exactly? Was there like no announcement that they were closing it at all?
@Desrever Same. I actually tried the demo on PC and it just didn’t hook me.
Played this on Gamepass, didn’t click with me 🤷♂️
I really enjoyed SteamWorld Dig 1 and 2. Is it not time for SteamWorld Dig 3?
@Lofoten Yeah, I could only really enjoy steam world dig. Hope they make more of those and less of the others. give me some good digging.
Still disappointed the Switch missed out on the dlc.
I’ve been holding out buying the eshop version hoping for a physical, and I will definitely pick this up. Loved the Caesar and Pharaoh games back in the day, and I trust I&F will nail the formula!
Now hoping it’s not too long to wait for Super Rare to release Steamworld Heist 2 as well!
If this won’t have the DLC then I don’t see the point to be honest. Still upset about that and won’t be buying from them again unfortunately

Not touching this with a ten foot pole after they announced that they won't be releasing the DLC for Switch anymore but continuing on other platforms.
