Pokémon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension DLC Launches with Version 2.0.0 Update on Nintendo Switch

The Pokémon Company has officially launched the highly anticipated Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension DLC for Nintendo Switch, coinciding with the rollout of the Version 2.0.0 game update.

This major expansion brings fresh story-driven content and beloved gameplay enhancements to one of the franchise’s flagship titles on the Nintendo Switch platform. Pokémon Legends: Z-A, developed by Game Freak and published by The Pokémon Company, first captivated fans with its bold approach to open-world exploration and narrative depth.

The new Mega Dimension DLC, now available for purchase via the Nintendo eShop, takes players even deeper into the game’s universe, unlocking additional storylines and new Pokémon encounters. To access the Mega Dimension DLC, players must first purchase it separately and complete the main story of Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

Once these prerequisites are met, the new content is unlocked, allowing trainers to continue their adventure and explore what the Mega Dimension has to offer. According to the latest update documentation from The Pokémon Company, the Version 2.0.0 update integrates support for the Mega Dimension DLC and introduces critical quality-of-life improvements.

While only those with the DLC can experience the additional story content in full, all players, regardless of DLC ownership, are now able to encounter or obtain the newly introduced Pokémon via the game’s communication features. A representative for The Pokémon Company emphasized in official materials that, “In order to enjoy online play, you must have downloaded the latest update data.

All players are required to use the same software version for multiplayer functionality.” This ensures consistency across online sessions and maintains the integrity of the player experience. Version 2.0.0 also brings important bug fixes and general stability improvements, further refining the gameplay.

Players are reminded to update their game to the latest version to access the newest features and to enjoy seamless online and local communication with others. With Pokémon Legends: Z-A achieving significant popularity and sales milestones on the Nintendo Switch since launch, the arrival of the Mega Dimension DLC positions the title for continued post-launch engagement.

The DLC is available now on the Nintendo eShop, marking another milestone for The Pokémon Company’s expanding presence on Nintendo’s flagship console.
