Today, Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader received a major update to the Nintendo Switch 2 version, which includes improved visuals, enhanced performance, and fixes for the numerous bugs experienced at launch. Furthermore, as an apology for the less-than-stellar Switch 2 launch in December 2025, Owlcat Games announced that all additional content, including all story DLCs, will be free for Switch 2 players.
After Rogue Trader’s initial launch on Switch 2, the team at Owlcat received feedback on the various issues with the version’s shaky build stability. Determined to make amends, the team worked hard to optimize the build, squash bugs, and improve both the game’s visuals and performance, ensuring that the game is stable and looks much better. Further details about the update can be found in this blog post.
In order to make up for the disappointment of the initial launch, starting today, all additional in-game content will be free on Nintendo Switch 2, including Deluxe Edition content and all DLC. The first two DLCs, Void Shadows and Lex Imperialis, are available now; the third and upcoming fourth DLC will follow later.
In Rogue Trader, players take on the role of a scion of an ancient dynasty of daring privateers who reign over their own trade protectorate and explore the fringes of Imperial space with the blessing of the Emperor Himself. By virtue of their Warrant of Trade, the Rogue Trader is endowed with privileges and power beyond imagination, as well as the task of expanding the borders of the Imperium. A gargantuan voidship of immense strength and innumerable personnel ready to follow their leader without question is at their disposal. Show your subjects mercy or disdain, stay faithful to the Emperor or consort with the enemies of Humanity — the Rogue Trader’s every decision sends ripples across entire star systems, changing the in-game world and those who inhabit it. Rogue Trader has now sold more than two million copies.
Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is available for PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store, and GOG, as well as console via PlayStation 4|5, Xbox One and Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2.
