About
Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition is a single player action game. It was developed by Mojang AB and was released on May 11, 2017. It received positive reviews from critics and overwhelmingly positive reviews from players.
Minecraft is a game about placing blocks and going on adventures. Explore randomly-generated worlds and build amazing things from the simplest of homes to the grandest of castles. Play in Creative Mode with unlimited resources or mine deep into the world in survival mode, crafting weapons and armour to fend off the dangerous mobs.
- Minecraft on the Nintendo Switch offers a perfect blend of portability and creative gameplay, making it an ideal choice for both kids and adults.
- The game features intuitive controls and vibrant graphics, providing a smooth and enjoyable experience whether played in handheld or docked mode.
- With endless creative possibilities and regular updates, Minecraft ensures hours of entertainment and encourages collaboration among players.
- The graphics and performance on the Switch are not as detailed as on more powerful platforms like PC or Xbox, which may disappoint some players.
- Multiplayer functionality requires a Nintendo Switch Online subscription, which can be seen as an unnecessary additional cost for local play.
- Some players find the controls on the Switch less precise compared to using a mouse and keyboard, which can hinder building and exploration.

Available on Nintendo SwitchLet’s be clear, Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition isn’t the definitive version of the world’s favourite sandbox game. The PC version is still the most advanced, most customisable and most fully featured. The PS4 and Xbox One versions offer up sharper 1080p/60 visuals and support for the largest 5,120 x 5,120 world sizes, as opposed to the Switch’s 3,072 x 3,072 medium-sized maps. Yet weirdly enough, the Switch Edition is rapidly becoming the version of choice in my multi-console household, just for the flexibility you gain by being able to play one version on your TV set and on the move.
