Minecraft’s Nintendo Players Request “Switch 2 Edition” After Graphics Update Skips Switch
June 18, 2025
Earlier this year, Mojang unveiled an exciting visual graphics upgrade for Minecraft, aptly named ‘Vibrant Visuals’. This highly anticipated update has now officially launched alongside the new ‘Chase the Skies’ drop. However, many Nintendo players have expressed disappointment, as the Switch trailer does not showcase the new visual enhancements.
This reaction, while perhaps expected by those familiar with Minecraft’s history on the Switch, has still left some fans feeling let down. The absence of the visual refresh has sparked calls for a “Switch 2 Edition” or an update to incorporate these features. Enthusiastic players have taken to social media to voice their desires:
NinjAsierX: “We need a Switch 2 version free for those who already had it in the original Switch.”
Silverfish003: “Make a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, Mojang! Mouse controls would be AMAZING!”
Zachhigherfructose8552: “Switch 2 version with Vibrant Visuals when?”
Browseph: “IM CRYING NOW!!! NO VIBRANT VISUALS ON SWITCH 2.”
Z-Man7: “Definitely needs a performance update for Switch 2.”
Described as Minecraft’s most significant “official” visual refresh to date, Vibrant Visuals enhances the game’s aesthetics without altering gameplay mechanics. Players can toggle these enhancements on and off, allowing for a customizable experience. There is hope that Mojang is either working on or exploring the possibility of a Switch 2 release. In their original announcement, the team indicated a commitment to bringing this graphical update to “as many devices as possible” in the future.
What to Expect from the New Update
For now, players can look forward to a variety of new features in the Switch version of Minecraft. The latest drop introduces a flying mount, allowing players to explore and build in the skies. As players raise their ghastling, they can eventually soar above the clouds with friends. Additional features include:
Building high into the sky
Leashing a caravan of camels together
Uncovering a new music disc
Finding wandering friends with the Player Locator bar
And much more!
For further details, players can refer to previous coverage and visit the Minecraft website. The anticipation for a Switch 2 version with the Vibrant Visuals continues to grow among the community, leaving many eager for updates from Mojang.
