Minecraft is coming to Switch 2 on October 27

There's no confirmation of Joy-Con 2 mouse control support just yet.

The best-selling video game of all time is making its way to yet another platform, as Minecraft will land on Nintendo Switch 2 on October 27. Developer Mojang says there will be an upgrade path for those who own the Switch version. More details about that will be revealed later.

Minecraft on Switch 2 should have stronger visuals than the the previous-gen version. By default, it will enable Vibrant Visuals , an enhanced graphics mode that Mojang released last year. It features directional lighting, volumetric fog, enhanced shadows and more. The Super Mario Mash-Up pack that's exclusive to Nintendo versions of Minecraft will receive a Vibrant Visuals boost as well. (Vibrant Visuals won't be available in split-screen play, some other game modes and certain Marketplace Worlds and other content.)

Mojang hasn't confirmed whether the Switch 2 version will support Joy-Con 2 mouse controls, which could help players create more precise builds faster. We'll surely learn more about the port in the coming weeks.

The Switch 2 version of Minecraft will arrive soon after the latest spin-off in the series. Minecraft Dungeons II will hit PC and consoles (including Switch and Switch 2) on September 29.
