ScottGames and Steel Wool Studios have officially launched Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted on Nintendo Switch, delivering one of the franchise’s most comprehensive entries to Nintendo’s hybrid console.
Originally developed for platforms such as Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and PlayStation VR, Help Wanted brings both classic and entirely new mini-games from the acclaimed survival horror series to a broader audience, now optimized for on-the-go play and home gaming. The Nintendo Switch version marks a significant transition for Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted.
While the game debuted as an immersive VR experience celebrated for its intense atmosphere, this release has been carefully adapted for non-VR gameplay, allowing a wider range of players to experience the terror-infused mini-games.
Utilizing the Switch’s HD Rumble feature, players can expect a tactile, suspenseful layer of feedback that amplifies each scare and heightens the overall atmosphere. "The integration of HD Rumble technology creates a more suspenseful and chilling encounter," developers at Steel Wool Studios stated, emphasizing the game’s commitment to delivering horror in a new format.
Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted groups its mini-games by origin, presenting new and returning players with a curated progression of escalating difficulty.
Players will find themselves repairing claustrophobic ventilation systems, troubleshooting malfunctioning animatronics, and facing various haunted challenges—each success earning a spin at the in-game Prize Counter to unlock a range of collectibles including toys, plushies, and bobbleheads. This collection also reimagines and updates scenes from several mainline titles: Five Nights at Freddy’s, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, Five Nights at Freddy’s 3, Five Nights at Freddy’s 4, and Five Nights at Freddy’s: Sister Location.
These remade levels bring fan-favorite moments into a unified, high-definition package, preserving the essence and fear factor of the originals while leveraging the portable flexibility of Nintendo Switch. Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted is available now for digital purchase worldwide through the Nintendo eShop, priced at £24.99 in the UK and $29.99 in the US.
With this release, ScottGames and Steel Wool Studios further cement the FNaF legacy on Nintendo’s growing roster of celebrated horror and indie titles, making it an essential addition for both series veterans and newcomers seeking a thrilling, handheld horror experience.
