Techland’s popular zombie game Dying Light came to Switch in 2021, but the new “Retouched” update that improves the game’s visuals and sound is not headed to Switch, nor is the Polish developer working on a port of the game for Switch 2.

In a statement to IGN, Techland said, “The Dying Light: Retouched Update is not coming to Nintendo Switch.”

Regarding the possibility of a Switch 2 port of the original Dying Light, Techland said that’s not happening either. The game is playable on Switch 2 via backwards compatibility, but Techland is not building a new version of the game for Switch 2.

“When it comes to a Switch 2 port of the original Dying Light, we have no plans at this moment,” Techland said, adding that it’s focused on releasing Dying Light: The Beast in August for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. “We have no news to share about Nintendo Switch 2 at this time.”

Dying Light boss Tymon Smektala told Wccftech recently that Techland would “love” to have The Beast come to Switch 2, but he had “nothing to announce.”

Dying Light’s sequel, Stay Human, was announced for Switch back in 2021 by way of a “cloud version.” Nintendo’s website says it was released on April 2, 2022, but it’s no longer available.

Dying Light’s Retouched update arrives today, June 26, for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The update is focused on “squeezing out even more” from the game in terms of visuals, but it’s not a remaster.
