Nintendo Switch 2 is now confirmed for Order of the Sinking Star, with Jonathan Blow saying the puzzle game will launch on the new console alongside PC in 2026.
The platform update is the main new detail: Blow first unveiled the game at December's Game Awards as a PC title, and no specific release date has been announced beyond the 2026 window.
The game comes from Blow and Thekla, the studio behind The Witness and Braid, and a new Switch 2 trailer shows how the title runs on Nintendo's upcoming hardware.
The added console release broadens the reach of a project billed as a large-scale puzzle mash-up, positioning it as one of the more notable indie titles slated for Switch 2 next year.

Can a game with no instructions succeed on the Switch 2 against giants like Pokémon and Resident Evil?

After a decade in development, will Jonathan Blow's new puzzle epic be a masterpiece or an exercise in frustration?

Will the custom code powering this game revolutionize development or remain a niche experiment?
