You can turn any genre into a roguelike these days, and Ball x Pit is the latest exciting example. This fantasy block-breaker has already sold 400,000 copies since its release on October 15, which includes sales on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, and PC, but not Switch 2. Nintendo’s recently released console would get the game at a later date, but it turns out it wasn’t that much later – the upgrade will be available tomorrow, October 28.

According to the Ball x Pit social media accounts, the Switch 2 version will have enhanced resolution and an improved frame rate. More specifically, it will run “1080p and 60 fps (or more) in handheld mode.” Owners of the Switch 1 version can upgrade to the Switch 2 version as well, so there’s no need to buy the game a second time. In fact, the announcement also asserts that the Switch 2 upgrade will be free for people who own the game on Switch, so it should be as simple as opening up the eShop to download the newer version.

BALL x PIT is OUT x NOW | Descend into The Pit 

Inspired by classic block-breaking game Arkanoid, Ball x Pit has players bounce various powered balls against armies of block-shaped fantasy enemies. We greatly enjoyed it, with our editor-in-chief Matt Miller scoring it an 8.75 and saying, “It’s one of those surprise successes of a game that is easy to recommend to almost anyone for some simple fun, following in the footsteps of titles like Vampire Survivors to present a perfect zone-out and focus-in experience.”
