Mewgenics Console Ports Confirmed: Edmund McMillen Hints at Nintendo Switch Release
Mewgenics, the latest title from indie icons Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel, has rapidly made waves in the gaming community since its recent launch for PC.
Known for their groundbreaking work on cult classics such as The Binding of Isaac and Super Meat Boy, the duo has once again captivated players with a unique roguelike experience.
Since its debut last week, Mewgenics has accelerated up the Steam charts to become one of the platform’s most-played roguelikes, reinforcing McMillen's reputation for delivering engaging, genre-defining titles. Despite Mewgenics’ impressive success on PC, many fans have eagerly awaited news of console availability.
The anticipation is palpable, given the studio’s strong track record of multi-platform support.
Previous titles from McMillen's portfolio—including The Binding of Isaac and Super Meat Boy—have found lasting popularity across numerous devices, with The Binding of Isaac notably available on Nintendo Switch among other platforms. Addressing community questions about Mewgenics coming to consoles, Edmund McMillen took to social media to provide an official update.
When asked by fans about the possibility of a console launch, McMillen responded, "We’re actively working on a console version—development is ongoing for all major systems.
While we can’t provide a release window just yet, the process is well underway." Furthermore, McMillen confirmed that downloadable content (DLC) is also planned for the future, reiterating his commitment to supporting the game post-launch. Although a formal list of supported consoles has yet to be released, industry observers note that previous entries from McMillen have seen broad platform distribution.
Given this history—along with the massive sales milestones achieved by The Binding of Isaac on Nintendo Switch and subsequent consoles—it is anticipated that Mewgenics will arrive on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
Speculation within the community also hints at a possible debut on Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo’s rumored next-generation hardware, due to the franchise's consistent presence on Nintendo devices. Mewgenics’ success is the latest chapter in Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel’s ongoing impact on the indie games sector.
As the game continues to climb the charts on Steam and the promise of cross-platform availability becomes more concrete, Mewgenics is poised to reach even greater heights within the roguelike and indie gaming communities.
For ongoing updates and official announcements, fans can continue to follow McMillen’s channels and stay tuned to upcoming Nintendo Direct presentations and eShop listings. With a celebrated history and established synergy between developer and hardware platform, the arrival of Mewgenics on Nintendo Switch and other consoles is set to further expand its audience and reinforce its status as a modern indie hit.
