Today, Nightdive Studios’ award-winning sci-fi horror action remake of the classic System Shock has been updated across all platforms to bring performance, content, and feature parity across all versions. In particular, performance has been significantly improved for System Shock on the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
Nightdive Studios’ System Shock is a critically acclaimed, faithful recreation of the 1994 sci-fi action shooter/immersive sim. It combines the gameplay of the original title with HD visuals, updated controls, an overhauled interface, and new sounds and music. A legion of hostile and mutated creatures — created and controlled by the delightfully villainous SHODAN — await players as they make their way through Citadel Station. Players will encounter traps, puzzles, and secrets as they pursue their escape. A combination of stealth, cunning, and futuristic weaponry will be required to survive.
With System Shock Parity Patch v2.1, players across all platforms can expect additional bug fixes and enhancements. Players on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 can expect stability, visual, and performance improvements across both versions. The Nintendo Switch version runs at up to 900p docked and up to 720p handheld, both with dynamic resolution and with a 30FPS performance target, while the Nintendo Switch 2 version runs at up to 1440p at 60fps when docked and 1080p at 60fps when handheld; players can additionally enjoy platform-specific features such as Joy-Con 2 mouse support.
