Frostpunk Switch arrives on October 19, 2026 for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. 11 bit studios confirmed the date on Monday, with a demo and pre-orders already available on the eShop.
What ships at launch
The game, released on PC on April 24, 2018 and on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2019, puts the player in charge of New London, the last city on a frozen Earth. On Switch, the base version launches with a 30% discount. The Complete Edition, with a 35% launch discount, includes the packs The Rifts, The Last Autumn and On The Edge.
Why the port matters
The publisher describes the experience as a mix of management and moral choices: labor, health and food laws, expeditions into the Frostland, Endless mode, and Serenity Mode, aimed at building the city without campaign pressure. According to 11 bit, the title was nominated for a BAFTA narrative award and received best PC game and best simulation recognition at the time.
The handheld release does not replace Frostpunk 1886, a definitive version of the original with new content that 11 bit has already signaled. Today's announcement is the 2018 game's port, not that revisit.
