Little Nightmares Switch Owners Will Need to repurchase Enhanced Edition for Switch 2
October 3, 2024 – Players hoping to upgrade their existing Little Nightmares game on Nintendo Switch to the upcoming Enhanced Edition on the Switch 2 will be required to purchase the game again, Bandai Namco has confirmed. This decision contrasts with upgrade paths available on other platforms, such as a free upgrade from the PS4 version to the PS5 Enhanced Edition.
According to a recent FAQ published by Bandai Namco, “technical constraints” are preventing an upgrade path for Switch owners.The company explicitly stated: “Due to technical constraints,owners of Nintendo Switch consoles and Little Nightmares (2017) won’t be able to get access to Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition. They will need to buy again the game on Nintendo Switch 2. As a reminder, Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition is only playable on Nintendo Switch 2 and not Nintendo Switch.”
The Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition is slated for release on October 10,2025,alongside Little Nightmares 3.
More details on the Enhanced Edition can be found here and a trailer for Little Nightmares 3 is available here.
