More than five years have passed since the Steam launch of Astroneer, an indie game developed by System Era Softworks that is coming to the Nintendo Switch. The developer studio confirmed that the release of the Astroneer version for Nintendo switch will coincide with the arrival of the update “Xenobiology”, the next January 13, 2022.
Starting today players can pre-purchase the digital version of the Astroneer for Nintendo Switch, giving them exclusive in-game rewards from day one. It is worth mentioning that the release date of January 13, 2022 is only for the digital version, as a physical version is expected to arrive at a later date from Gearbox Publishing.
