Yooka-Laylee is out now for Nintendo Switch

Playtonic Games and Team 17 have announced that Yooka-Laylee is out now for Nintendo Switch, the final of the planned releases.



Originally slated for Wii U, when the production of that console stopped and Switch was announced, Playtonic Games announced they would be switching focus to the new console.

“We spent many months adding significant optimisations and dozens of game updates to ensure the Nintendo Switch version of Yooka-Laylee really is the bee’s knees.” said Gavin Price, Studio Director at Playtonic Games. “There’s single Joy-Con™ support across our eight multiplayer games, and a huge list of changes; including brand new camera mode, control improvements, and menu options. There’s a lot!”

In addition you can play with your friends as Split Joy-Con support is offered for eight unique local multiplayer arcade games (up to four players).

The game is already available on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
