Now, Deck Nine Games and Life is Strange: Double Exposure’s publisher Square Enix have revealed that the title will be available for the Nintendo Switch on November 19. However, only the digital edition of the game will be available in 2024. Switch owners who want to obtain a physical release of Life is Strange: Double Exposure will have to wait until January 28, 2025, for its release, but can already pre-order the game. The physical edition will come on a 16GB cartridge, and players who pre-order the story-driven game will get a SteelBook.

When Will Life is Strange: Double Exposure Be Released for Switch?

  • Digital version: November 19, 2024
  • Physical edition: January 28, 2025

The new Life is Strange is a direct sequel to the first game, which was released in 2015. While other sequels focused on new characters, Double Exposure brings Max Caulfield back to the spotlight. Now in college, Max discovers her new friend dead and uses her old powers, inadvertently creating two parallel timelines in which she has to investigate who murdered her friend.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure received mixed reviews and currently holds an average score of 72 on OpenCritic. While some critics have praised the excellent voice acting in the game, as well as the great atmosphere and visuals, some have criticized minor visual bugs, and aspects of the story. In any case, Life is Strange: Double Exposure is still a good pick for fans of the series, especially due to the return of Max Caulfield, one of the most popular characters in the franchise.

At the moment, it’s not yet known how well Life is Strange: Double Exposure will run on the Nintendo Switch. The Nintendo Switch has several excellent ports, but being a last-gen device, it also comes with a few limitations. On the other hand, the new Life is Strange is not a game with high-end graphics, so it remains to be seen how it’ll perform.
