The Outer Worlds will land on Switch this June

Earlier in the year, The Outer Worlds was delayed on Switch, due to the core of the studio porting it, being based in China, but now the game has a new release date and that is June 5.

On the games official site, a post was made, that explains what players can expect on release day, including the mandatory day 1 patch, for those that go the physical route.

We wanted to share an exciting update that we plan on launching The Outer Worlds for the Nintendo Switch on June 5th, 2020. As we prepare for another arrival of new colonists, we have some very important information for those making this journey, specifically for you colonists who prefer your goods in physical form: The retail version The Outer Worlds comes on a physical cartridge, and it will be accompanied by a day one patch that could be up to 6 GB. This patch will optimize gameplay, provide additional hi-res textures, and include other fixes to provide the employees of Halcyon with the best gameplay experience. Please ensure you have planned accordingly and have available space necessary for the patch.

This is some good news, though the lack of screens for the game is a little odd, more so when you consider that we were only a few weeks away from its release, before the delay.
