The developer behind the superhero game Dispatch, AdHoc Studio, has stated it is "legally unable" to clarify why an uncensored version of the game cannot be released on Nintendo Switch, unlike the uncut launch of Cyberpunk 2077. Initially, AdHoc believed that it could release Dispatch with mature content on the Switch, but later found that Nintendo's content guidelines necessitated certain edits. The developer cited a perceived lack of clarity surrounding the situation, particularly in contrast to the uncensored version of Cyberpunk 2077 that was available globally. Despite requests from fans for an unedited edition, AdHoc confirmed it cannot publish a physical edition or provide further details about regional restrictions.

Why is Dispatch censored on Nintendo Switch?

Dispatch is censored on Nintendo Switch due to Nintendo's content guidelines that did not allow the game to be released without edits, unlike other platforms where the uncensored version is available.

The game Dispatch, part of the superhero genre, was initially released in October 2025, promising a unique experience for players. Developed by AdHoc Studio, the game has garnered attention for its mature content and engaging narrative, though the issues surrounding censorship have sparked significant discussions in the gaming community, reflecting ongoing debates about content regulations in gaming across different platforms.
