The Switch version of Dying Light 2 Stay Human has been delayed several months.
On Wednesday, Techland issued a press release explaining that Dying Light 2 Stay Human on Nintendo’s console won’t launch alongside the others next month.
“The Nintendo Switch version of Dying Light 2 Stay Human, previously planned for release on Feb. 4, 2022, has been moved to a later date,” Techland said. “Techland aims to deliver the game to the Nintendo Switch family within six months from the original date.”
The decision certainly is last minute, though not unsurprising, as the most recent gameplay trailer for Dying Light 2 Stay Human did not include the Nintendo Switch logo.

Dying Light 2 Stay Human on Switch will be a cloud version of the game, meaning it’s not running natively on the hardware. Techland claims that after the warm reception to Dying Light: Platinum Edition on the platform, the studio wants to ensure the sequel gets extra attention.
Dying Light 2 Stay Human is a technical powerhouse, so there’s no doubt that the Nintendo Switch port needs more time to iron out kinks since it’s not as powerful as a PS5 or Xbox Series X|S.
For everyone else, Dying Light 2 Stay Human is coming Feb. 4, 2022, on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
