Overcooked 2 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Launches With Cross-Play, 4K Graphics, and Enhanced Features

After its highly anticipated reveal during the September Nintendo Direct, Team17 and Ghost Town Games have officially launched Overcooked 2 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition.

Starting today, players can experience the beloved chaotic cooking game with upgraded features and full cross-platform compatibility, marking another milestone for the Overcooked franchise on Nintendo hardware. Overcooked 2 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition arrives with significant enhancements tailored for the next-generation Nintendo Switch 2 system.

Players who opt for this latest edition can seamlessly cook, chop, and collaborate across both Switch 2 and original Nintendo Switch platforms, ensuring that friends and family can join in regardless of their console version.

Team17 confirmed that all DLC previously purchased on Nintendo Switch will carry over, and progress can be transferred between the two platforms, offering a flexible and connected multiplayer experience. "We've made sure the transition is smooth for returning chefs," a spokesperson for Team17 shared.

"Your existing progress and downloadable content are available no matter which Nintendo Switch system you use." Key highlights of the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition include graphics upgraded in line with the PC release, enabling stunning 4K resolution at 60 frames per second when docked.

This substantial boost in visual fidelity allows for a more immersive kitchen mayhem, letting players enjoy every frantic moment in spectacular clarity.

Additionally, the new Camera Play feature captures the fun and chaos, letting players watch their teammates' reactions as they strive to serve the Onion Kingdom and satisfy the ravenous Unbread. A standout gameplay addition comes in the form of GameShare, which allows local and online multiplayer for players even if only one chef owns a copy of Overcooked 2.

This innovative approach lowers the barriers for entry and is ideal for parties and family gatherings.

Fans will also meet the latest member of the Kitchen Crew, the Pristine Platinum Platypus, adding fresh character variety for teams tackling culinary challenges. Overcooked 2 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is now available on the eShop for $29.99 USD.

For existing Overcooked 2 owners on the original Switch, an upgrade path is offered at $9.99 USD, and both purchase and upgrade options are discounted by 20% during the launch week. This release further strengthens the game’s reputation for delivering frantic, cooperative gameplay and cements Team17 and Ghost Town Games’ position as leaders in accessible, innovative multiplayer experiences.

The new trailer highlights the upgraded visuals, features, and comedic teamwork that have defined the Overcooked series since its debut.
