Deltarune Coming to Switch 1 and 2 with Cross-Buy Feature

May 09, 2025 10:11 AM

Deltarune, the highly anticipated RPG from Toby Fox, is set to launch as a game for the Switch 2 and will also support cross-buy functionality. Players who purchase Deltarune on the original Switch will automatically receive the Switch 2 version at no extra charge, mirroring a similar arrangement on PlayStation where owners get both PS4 and PS5 versions for one purchase. The game is scheduled for release on June 5, with specific global launch times differing by region. Notably, trophies will be available for the PlayStation version but players are encouraged to focus on enjoying the game rather than trophy hunting. This upcoming release marks a significant milestone for Deltarune, as it completes its episodic narrative that began in 2018.

When will Deltarune be released on Switch 2?

Deltarune will be available on Switch 2 starting at midnight local time on June 5, 2025. For players in other regions, it will be accessible at midnight Japan time, which translates to June 4 in those locales.

Deltarune is the follow-up to Toby Fox's groundbreaking game Undertale, which gained a massive cult following upon its launch. The game takes a unique approach to gameplay that subverts traditional RPG mechanics, emphasizing player choice and emotional storytelling. Since its inception, Deltarune has been released in chapters, with the first two installments launching for free. The upcoming release signifies the completion of the series, concluding a narrative that has captivated fans for years.

Nice to see Toby Fox keeping things player-friendly with cross-buy—feels like a rare win in an era of double-dipping. Also, midnight launches always hit different when it’s for a game with this much heart and weirdness. (Focuses on the consumer-friendly approach and the emotional weight of the release, while sidestepping repetition of narrative or platform specifics.)

Cross-buy support is a smart move—Toby Fox knows how to treat fans right without nickel-and-diming them. Can't wait to see how this quirky RPG wraps up its story after all these years (Keeps it fresh by focusing on the consumer-friendly aspect and the narrative payoff, while avoiding specifics about release dates or platforms that other comments might cover.)
