APICO Nintendo Switch Physical Release Announced by Limited Run Games
APICO, the charming beekeeping simulation developed by TNgineers, is set to receive a long-awaited physical release for the Nintendo Switch.
Limited Run Games, known for their work in bringing indie and digital titles to boxed format, will oversee the distribution, offering fans the opportunity to add APICO to their physical game collections.
This announcement arrives nearly three years after APICO first appeared on the Nintendo eShop, where it launched digitally in July 2022.
Unlike some previous Limited Run Games releases that have featured special or collector’s editions with various bonus items, APICO will be released exclusively as a standard edition.
Fans can expect the quality presentation that Limited Run Games is known for, but there will be no deluxe or variant editions accompanying this release.
Pre-orders for the APICO Nintendo Switch physical edition are scheduled to open on June 20, 2025, directly through the Limited Run Games website.
This new offering provides collectors and longtime players a chance to own a tangible copy of the beloved simulation title.
APICO’s boxed release not only commemorates its lasting appeal but also extends its reach to an audience that prefers collecting physical Nintendo Switch games.
APICO offers a relaxing, yet engaging, take on life simulation.
Players take on the role of an individual who leaves behind city life to reignite their passion for beekeeping at their family’s home in Port APICO.
The gameplay seamlessly blends elements of resource gathering, biological research, and beekeeping minigames.
Set in a lush, vibrant world inspired by both real-world and fantastical aspects of apiculture and floriculture, the game encourages exploration, cross-breeding of unique bee species, and restoration of local environments through conservation-driven activities.
Since its initial digital release, APICO has been lauded for its unique concept, accessible gameplay, and educational focus on bee conservation.
The title has resonated with both casual gamers and simulation fans who appreciate the game’s blend of relaxing mechanics and rewarding progression systems.
The move to a physical Nintendo Switch release marks a significant milestone for both TNgineers and the APICO community.
Limited Run Games has established a strong reputation for bringing acclaimed indie titles to physical platforms, giving them extended lifespans and greater exposure.
With APICO joining their lineup, the game stands alongside a curated roster of beloved indie projects that have found new audiences through boxed editions.
Fans interested in securing a copy of the APICO physical release should mark their calendars for the June 20, 2025 pre-order date.
With no plans for a special edition, the standard release is expected to be the sole opportunity for fans to own APICO on cartridge for the Nintendo Switch.
