Following Dispatch's massive 2025 success detailed in prior coverage, a leak on the Australian Nintendo eShop indicates AdHoc Studio's superhero game is heading to Switch and Switch 2 on January 29, with a free enhanced upgrade for the next-gen version.

Port Leak Confirmation

AdHoc Studio's Dispatch, the acclaimed episodic superhero workplace comedy starring Aaron Paul as Mecha Man, has surfaced on the Australian Nintendo eShop for both Switch and the upcoming Switch 2, listing a January 29 release date. Pre-orders are live in Australia at around $39.55–$43.95 AUD (launch discount), despite no official announcement yet. The UK eShop lacks listings, but this points to an imminent reveal.

Switch 2 Upgrade Path

Switch owners get a free upgrade to the Switch 2 edition, promising higher resolution, better frame rates, and 14.6GB storage use—fitting Nintendo's backward compatibility push.

Context Amid Success

Building on the game's 2 million sales, GOTY buzz, and season 2 discussions (as covered previously), these ports expand Dispatch from PC/PS5 to Nintendo platforms. Eurogamer has contacted AdHoc for comment.
