Yooka-Laylee reconfirmed for Switch, digital only, no release date set, Wii U backer options revealed

Very soon we will unlock BackerKit surveys and allow you to make final adjustments to your game platform including Nintendo Switch, plus the opportunity to upgrade to a physical version for PS4 and XB1. Wii U backers affected by our recent announcement can also request a refund.

We continue to work closely with Nintendo on plans for a Nintendo Switch version of Yooka-Laylee and more details will be revealed in the future. We’d like to thank our many Nintendo fans for their continued patience and understanding while we form our plans: we hope to make your platform of choice a great place to experience Yooka-Laylee in the future!

Note: Upon release, the Switch version will be delivered to backers via digital game codes and thus no additional upgrade cost is required.

When we unlock your survey through BackerKit, Wii U backers will be able to do one of the following:

- Change to a PC digital Steam version (and receive Toybox Plus on PC Steam to compensate for price difference)
- Change to a digital console version (Xbox One, PS4 or Switch)
- Upgrade to a physical console version (Xbox One or PS4 - £20 upgrade cost applies)
- Request a refund
*Please note that all Wii U backers who don’t choose another platform will be defaulted to PC digital Steam

UPDATE - If you were hoping for a physical release on Switch, there might be a bit of hope. Thanks to OperationGamer17 for the heads up.
