Crypt of the NecroDancer Receives Crucial Switch 2 Compatibility Update
As Nintendo steadily enhances the gaming experience on its latest hardware, Switch 2, both established publishers and indie developers are rolling out necessary updates to ensure optimal performance for fan-favorite titles.
Among the recent compatibility enhancements, Brace Yourself Games has released an important update for its acclaimed rhythm-based roguelike, Crypt of the NecroDancer, specifically targeting crash issues reported by players on the Switch 2. Originally launched on the Nintendo Switch eShop in 2018, Crypt of the NecroDancer set a high bar for innovative gameplay with its unique blend of rhythm-action and dungeon crawling.
Developed by the independent studio Brace Yourself Games, the title quickly garnered a devoted following, leading to successful spin-offs and collaborations such as the Zelda-themed Cadence of Hyrule. The compatibility patch for Switch 2 addresses instances where the game would unexpectedly crash on the new hardware.
In a direct communication to its player base, Brace Yourself Games confirmed: “A patch has just been released to resolve the crash issue affecting Switch 2 players.
We’re grateful for the community’s patience as we worked to implement this fix.” This update comes in response to user reports and reflects the developer’s commitment to maintaining a smooth and enjoyable experience across all Nintendo platforms. At the time of reporting, Nintendo’s official compatibility page has yet to reflect this most recent fix for Crypt of the NecroDancer.
However, players are encouraged to check their game version and download the latest patch to ensure stable gameplay on Switch 2.
Additionally, the developer's newest entry in the franchise, Rift of the NecroDancer, is already fully compatible with Nintendo's latest console, offering fans even more rhythm-infused content. Brace Yourself Games joins a growing list of developers, including major publishers like Square Enix, who are supporting legacy titles with Switch 2 optimization.
Other popular games such as NieR:Automata and both DOOM and DOOM II recently received similar compatibility updates following a Nintendo firmware rollout.
These ongoing efforts highlight the industry’s dedication to seamless software transitions as the Nintendo Switch ecosystem evolves. Crypt of the NecroDancer’s continued support on Switch 2 is a testament to the enduring popularity of indie hits and the proactive engagement of developers in keeping their games accessible for new and returning players alike.
As more titles receive updates and compatibility patches, Nintendo fans can look forward to a robust and reliable library on Switch 2. For the latest announcements on further fixes or additional game updates, keep an eye on official channels and developer communication to ensure your gaming experience remains uninterrupted.
