Team17 and Ghost Town Games have officially released Overcooked 2! - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, bringing a fresh serving of their acclaimed co-op cooking experience to Nintendo's latest hardware.

Unveiled during the September Nintendo Direct, this upgraded edition leverages the enhanced capabilities of the Nintendo Switch 2, offering improved visuals, new multiplayer features, and seamless cross-progression for dedicated chefs. Overcooked 2, developed by Ghost Town Games and published by Team17, first launched in 2018 and quickly gained recognition for its frantic, cooperative gameplay and charm.

Fans have since enjoyed the mayhem of preparing dishes under pressure, often resulting in hilarity and chaos among friends and family.

The new Nintendo Switch 2 Edition continues this tradition, while introducing significant enhancements designed to make the game even more engaging on the latest platform. Among the most notable improvements is support for 4K resolution and a silky-smooth 60 frames per second gameplay experience when docked, fully utilizing the Nintendo Switch 2’s beefed-up hardware.

For the first time, the game features camera integration, allowing players to see their own reactions and those of their friends on-screen—perfect for capturing the laughter, tension, and shouting that Overcooked sessions are famous for. The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition also introduces GameShare, enabling players to join in with friends using just a single copy of the game, making local co-op even more accessible.

Additionally, players can now select a brand-new chef, The Pristine Platinum Platypus, adding another layer of fun and personalization to their kitchen crew. Existing owners of Overcooked 2 on Nintendo Switch can upgrade to the Switch 2 Edition for a one-time fee of £7.99 / €9.99 / $9.99.

New players can purchase the complete edition for £24.99 / €29.99 / $29.99 via the Nintendo eShop.

To celebrate the launch, there’s a limited-time 20% discount available for one week, giving early adopters a tasty deal. Crucially, Team17 has confirmed full cross-progression support for this release.

All downloadable content (DLC) and saved data from previous versions can be transferred seamlessly to the new edition, ensuring that hard-earned progress—including those coveted three-star levels—remains intact. With its freshly enhanced features and user-friendly upgrade options, Overcooked 2! - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition represents both a celebration of the series’ legacy and an exciting step forward for local co-op gaming on Nintendo’s latest hardware.
