Metroid Prime 4: Beyond will be available on the current Nintendo Switch, so there's no need to purchase a new console to enjoy the game.

The Metroid Prime series is renowned for its first-person action-adventure gameplay and atmospheric world design. The original Metroid Prime, released in 2002, was a significant departure from the 2D side-scrolling format, introducing players to immersive 3D environments while retaining the series' hallmark exploration and puzzle-solving elements. The last game in the series, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, was released in 2007, making the upcoming installment highly anticipated by fans.
