Whether you own a Switch 2 or are a fan of SOMA, the sci-fi horror game developed by Frictional Games, here’s news that’s far from something to fear. Abylight Studios, publishers of the acclaimed game, has announced the release of a SOMA update for the Nintendo Switch 2, which is available for digital and physical copies!

This update can be acquired by anyone who has purchased the game on the OG Nintendo Switch. With it, players will be granted access to a native version of the title on the Switch 2! And better yet, the update is free for the USA, Europe, and other regions, though it will cost 100 yen on the Japanese eShop.

The Depths of SOMA

For those who don’t know much about the game, its website’s description dives into its premise:

“Enter the world of SOMA and face horrors buried deep beneath the ocean waves. Delve through locked terminals and secret documents to uncover the truth behind the chaos. Seek out the last remaining inhabitants and take part in the events that will ultimately shape the fate of the station. But be careful, danger lurks in every corner: corrupted humans, twisted creatures, insane robots, and even an inscrutable omnipresent A.I. You will need to figure out how to deal with each one of them. Just remember there’s no fighting back, either you outsmart your enemies or you get ready to run.”

What Lurks Around the Corner

The eerie experience promises to be even more immersive on the Switch 2! A press release presents the update’s key features:

• Improved frame rates.
