Is Factorio available on the Nintendo Switch?

Yes — Factorio is on Nintendo Switch. The game launched for Switch on October 28, 2022 and can be played in TV, tabletop, or handheld modes via the Nintendo eShop, bringing the core factory-building experience to the console (controller-based play is supported). This was announced by the Factorio team and is listed on Nintendo’s official store pages. For PC players curious about features versus the Switch port, the official blog confirms the Switch release and notes cross-platform multiplayer is possible when versions match, with save data remaining compatible across platforms.

Beyond the initial release, the platform has some important caveats and ongoing developments. The Switch version historically lacked mod support, and while saves are compatible across platforms, modding is not available on Switch. The game does support full controller play, and cross-platform multiplayer remains possible if everyone is on the same version. In late 2025, Wube announced a free upgrade to Factorio – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition for existing Switch owners, with the Switch 2 version delivering improved resolution (up to 1080p), variable refresh rate, faster loading, and broader base-building capabilities; Space Age content was also planned for Switch 2. The upgrade announcements came from outlets covering Factorio’s Switch ecosystem, and are mirrored by official game communications.
