Description

The acclaimed World War II real-time strategy game Company of Heroes Collection has just received a major update for Nintendo Switch, introducing highly anticipated online cross-platform multiplayer support.

Developed and published by Feral Interactive, Company of Heroes Collection launched for Nintendo Switch in October 2023, bringing the beloved classic and its expansions to the handheld-console hybrid.

While praised for faithfully adapting the tactical gameplay to Switch hardware, the absence of multiplayer at launch left some fans wanting more. Delivering on its post-launch commitment, Feral Interactive has now patched in online multiplayer functionality.

The latest update enables players to engage in up to four-player online skirmishes—not only with other Nintendo Switch owners but also with players on compatible mobile devices.

According to Feral Interactive's recent announcement on social media, the new feature allows fans to "take the fight online in up to four player online skirmishes," further noting that battles can cross platforms, connecting Switch and mobile users around the world. This enhancement marks a significant milestone for the Company of Heroes Collection on Switch, which previously only offered a single-player campaign and offline modes.

Fans and critics alike noted that the collection felt incomplete without its signature multiplayer features—a vital component of the series' enduring appeal since its original PC debut in 2006.

The arrival of cross-platform multiplayer aims to deliver a refreshed and more robust competitive experience for Nintendo Switch gamers. Feral Interactive's history of expertly bringing complex titles like Company of Heroes and GRID Autosport to the Nintendo Switch and other platforms reinforces their reputation for high-quality, player-focused updates.

In related news, GRID Autosport, another Feral Interactive project, is now playable on the Switch 2 thanks to a recent system-level firmware update, expanding the company's growing catalog of well-supported Switch titles. Company of Heroes Collection can be accessed via the Nintendo eShop, and the new multiplayer features are available now through the latest game update.

With the inclusion of cross-platform play, Nintendo Switch users can now fully experience the strategic depth and cooperative excitement that Company of Heroes is known for across the gaming community.
