TerraTech Launches on Nintendo Switch: Open-World Sandbox Adventure Arrives May 29

Payload Studios is set to expand its acclaimed creative sandbox experience with the launch of TerraTech on Nintendo Switch.

The innovative open-world sci-fi adventure, already a success on platforms like PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, will be available worldwide on the Nintendo eShop starting May 29. TerraTech places players in the role of an interplanetary prospector, delivering an expansive environment where the freedom to design and construct complex vehicles lies at the core of gameplay.

Whether embarking on the single-player Campaign, experimenting in Creative mode, or taking on the rigorous challenges of Gauntlet mode, players are encouraged to build custom machines and explore vast uncharted worlds.

The experience is dynamically enriched through inventive machine-based combat, resource collection, and the pursuit to become the ultimate planetary prospector. Payload Studios founder Russ Clarke emphasized the synergy between TerraTech’s design and the capabilities of the Nintendo Switch platform.

In his statement, Clarke shared, “From the beginning, we recognized that the Nintendo Switch would be an excellent home for TerraTech, and it’s thrilling to introduce the game to Nintendo’s passionate audience.

The game’s inherent creativity and vibrant visual style make it especially suited for players on the go, allowing the fun of building and exploring to continue beyond the living room.” First debuting on PC in August 2018, TerraTech quickly garnered attention for its intuitive building mechanics and flexible, emergent gameplay.

The title’s success led to subsequent releases on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in the same year.

With the upcoming Nintendo Switch version, Payload Studios aims to bring their unique sandbox experience to a broader audience, leveraging the system’s hybrid portability and robust player base.

The Nintendo Switch edition of TerraTech includes all major gameplay modes and supports both docked and handheld options, ensuring accessibility and seamless play whether at home or on the move.

The launch on the Nintendo eShop on May 29 underscores the continued popularity of creative sandbox titles on the platform and highlights Payload Studios’ commitment to expanding its innovative franchises across all major consoles. For fans of customizable gameplay, engineering challenges, and expansive exploration, TerraTech promises a versatile and engaging experience.

Nintendo Switch owners can look forward to building, battling, and exploring in this vibrant sci-fi world starting May 29, exclusively on the Nintendo eShop.
