GEX Trilogy Receives Nintendo Switch 2 Compatibility Update from Limited Run Games

Limited Run Games Delivers GEX Trilogy Compatibility Patch for Nintendo Switch 2 The beloved GEX Trilogy is now fully compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2, following the launch of a key update from Limited Run Games.

This move comes after the publisher requested the temporary removal of the GEX Trilogy from the Switch 2 eShop last week to address compatibility issues, highlighting Limited Run Games’ commitment to quality and player satisfaction.

The trilogy, a compilation of the classic platformers starring the wisecracking gecko Gex, continues its legacy in the modern era by successfully adapting to Nintendo’s latest hardware. Players who previously purchased the GEX Trilogy on the Nintendo Switch 2 can now download the new compatibility patch directly through the eShop.

This free update ensures a smoother experience and preserves the nostalgia of one of retro gaming’s iconic mascots.

In a public announcement on social media, Limited Run Games advised, "If you bought the game and encountered issues, please download the latest update to enjoy GEX Trilogy on your Nintendo Switch 2." Additionally, the company confirmed that upcoming physical copies of the collection will ship with the new patch pre-installed, which is particularly good news for gaming collectors and fans of physical media. The GEX Trilogy compatibility patch primarily addresses Switch 2 functionality and does not yet include the promised PAL versions or British voice acting, features that have been highly requested by fans of the series.

Limited Run Games reassured the community that these regional enhancements remain in development and are scheduled for a future update, which will also be incorporated into subsequent physical editions. Limited Run Games has established itself as a leader in publishing digital and physical releases of classic games for modern consoles.

Their efforts to preserve and modernize retro titles like GEX Trilogy have been widely appreciated, particularly by collectors and longtime Nintendo enthusiasts.

The company’s attention to detail and transparent communication underscore its reputation in the industry. The Nintendo Switch 2, expected to lead Nintendo’s hardware ecosystem, continues to attract iconic franchises and major game developers to its platform.

The addition of the updated GEX Trilogy to the Switch 2 lineup further enriches the console’s library, giving a new generation of gamers access to classic adventures, now enhanced with modern compatibility.

As Limited Run Games plans future updates and additional features, both digital and physical collectors can look forward to more ways to experience the enduring charm of Gex on Nintendo Switch 2.
