Citizen Sleeper 1 and 2 Head to Nintendo Switch 2 This Month with Free Upgrades
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Both Citizen Sleeper games are launching on Nintendo Switch 2 on June 25, with free upgrades for current owners of the original Switch versions.
Nintendo Switch 2 owners have some strong narrative RPGs heading their way later this month. During a recent Story Rich Showcase, developer Gareth Damian Martin confirmed that both Citizen Sleeper and its acclaimed sequel, Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector, will launch on Nintendo's new hardware on June 25. For players who already own either title on the original Switch, the studio is offering a free upgrade to the Switch 2 versions. This player friendly approach offers a refreshing contrast to the paid remaster trend that often frustrates the community.
The original Citizen Sleeper earned widespread praise for its tabletop inspired mechanics and deep storytelling when it released in 2022, while the 2025 sequel elevated the formula further by introducing higher stakes and structured contract missions. Bringing both games to the Switch 2 platform gives portable gamers a definitive way to experience the entire sci fi saga on modern hardware with improved performance.
This platform expansion highlights the enduring appeal of indie narrative games in a market often dominated by massive live service giants. As reported by Vikki Blake over at Eurogamer, the announcement also teased an upcoming world premiere for a brand new project from the developer.
