'Payday 2' Nintendo Switch Release Date Will Be This Year
Payday 2 is coming to the Nintendo Switch. The first-person shooter was revealed to be coming to Nintendo’s new console as part of the company’s Nintendo Direct release event on Twitch Wednesday.
The game doesn’t have a specific release yet, but is slated to come out this winter. Check out the portion of the Nintendo Direct event announcing the game below:

Originally released in 2013, Payday 2 is a first-person shooter that revolves around attempting bank heists with other players in cooperative gameplay. The game was originally released on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, but saw an updated port, Payday 2: Crimewave Edition , come to current-generation consoles in 2015. It’s unclear how much of the existing game’s downloadable packs will come to the Switch, but as Eurogamer points out, Nintendo hinted that a “huge amount” of in-game content would be coming to the Switch version of the game.
Payday 2 isn’t necessarily a game that’ll move the needle for most current or potential Nintendo Switch owners — the Nintendo Switch event also saw more flagship titles like Splatoon 2 and Arms get detailed — but it’s representative of the in-between period for the Switch’s release calendar.

Upcoming major releases for the Switch include Super Mario Odyssey and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
