Another Crab's Treasure, the seashell-themed soulslike that landed on Nintendo platforms, has received a dedicated Nintendo Switch 2 Edition and an immediate, no-cost upgrade for existing Switch owners.
Nintendo's official product page details performance and visual improvements for the new build, delivering a notable quality-of-life bump for players on both Switch generations.
Nintendo's official rundown for the Switch 2 Edition lists three core improvements.
Rewriting Nintendo's statement in clear, journalistic terms: the Switch 2 Edition increases frame rates in both handheld and docked modes, raises the rendering resolution to run at 1080p for a crisper display, and includes stability fixes that significantly reduce load times and reduce hitches in previously reported problem areas.
Key Switch 2 Edition improvements (per Nintendo)
- Higher FPS: Performance is improved across handheld and docked play.
- Enhanced resolution: The game now targets 1080p for a cleaner image.
- Stability: Load times and intermittent hitches have been reduced in areas that were previously problematic.
Existing Nintendo Switch owners can download the update now at no extra charge, allowing players to benefit from the Switch 2-specific optimizations immediately.
Nintendo's product listing highlights the upgrade path and technical improvements rather than introducing paid upgrade tiers for owners of the original Switch release.
