$29.99 Stray launched on Nintendo Switch 2, but Annapurna said existing digital owners on Switch 1 are not receiving the intended free upgrade discount.
A storefront backend error blocked the 100% owners discount from applying correctly, excluding Japan where the upgrade was never offered.
Annapurna said it is working with Nintendo to fix the eShop issue over the next few days and apologized for the launch problem.
The Switch 2 edition adds upgraded visuals, 4K support, improved frame rate and mouse controls, while a physical release is planned later in Japan through Happinet.
Stray's free Switch 2 upgrade is broken, but will physical copy owners be left out of a fix entirely?
Is Stray's launch day glitch a sign of deeper backend problems for third-party games on the new Switch 2?
