A demo launched on the Nintendo eShop on September 20, and the Switch 2 version is playable at Tokyo Game Show 2026 at Makuhari Messe. The package contains the main game plus all content released so far, including collaboration costumes with NieR and Goddess of Victory: NIKKE, with nearly 130 costumes total. Four Bayonetta collaboration costumes will be distributed free on the same day for Switch 2, PC, and PS5 owners. CEO Kim Hyung-tae said the port targets 60fps in both TV and handheld modes, dropping to 50fps in some scenes, and that the play feel is meant to match other platforms. He also confirmed the sequel Stellar Blade BLOOD RAIN is in development.","whyItMatters":"Kim's own framing of the Switch 2 release as free content for existing PS5 and PC owners, not a paid re-purchase, makes the port a retention play for SHIFT UP rather than a new sales market.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe Switch 2 build was shown publicly as a playable demo for the first time at Tokyo Game Show 2026. Kim said the decision to port came about a year ago, after the Switch 2 hardware was announced and the team tested whether the console could run the game. He described Nintendo hardware as something he grew up wanting, saying he first owned a Nintendo system with the Wii.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSHIFT UP is also releasing a packaged edition that puts the full game on the cartridge, including a limited SteelBook version. Kim said all the data being on the cartridge is part of the appeal. The Bayonetta collaboration includes Bayonetta\u0026#39;s original costume, a Jeanne costume, a nun costume based on the white habit Bayonetta wore before revealing her true form, and Black Tresses, an original costume Kim designed himself with a crow-feather motif. Kim said the black costume is covered in text rather than a pattern, reproduced letter by letter with help from PlatinumGames.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKim said Eve has a different body model for each costume, with roughly seven or eight models involved in the scans.
