Superheroes on the Switch

What’s special about it? It is the first superhero MMORPG to be released for the Nintendo Switch. This makes it possible to experience adventures on the go.

When will the MMORPG be released? The release date for the Switch has been set for August 6.

The online game has been playable on PC and PS3 since 2011. Versions for Xbox One and PS4 followed later.

Can accounts from other versions be transferred? No. You must start fresh on the Nintendo Switch.

What about crossplay? At least initially, there is no crossplay feature. Nintendo Switch owners will play independently. However, Daybreak Games does not rule out the possibility of introducing crossplay at a later date.

Completely new servers will be set up for the Switch version.

What does the game cost? DC Universe Online will be released as a Free2Play MMORPG. It is possible to buy EXP boosters or cosmetic items for your hero using the in-game currency, Daybreak Cash.

No Differences Between Versions

Do the versions differ from each other? According to the developers, the Switch version of DC Universe Online is on par with the other versions.

It is said that future updates will also be released simultaneously. The Switch will not lag behind.

This means that the Switch launches with content from 30 episodes and over 100 updates. There will be no shortage of content.

What do players think? Some fans of the MMORPG had hoped to transfer their character from other versions and continue playing on the go.

But in general, many are looking forward to playing DC Universe Online on the Switch soon.
