Escape the Backrooms is out now on Nintendo Switch 2: full cross-play from day one

Escape the Backrooms is out today on Nintendo Switch 2. Fancy Games and Blackbird Interactive have brought the co-op horror game over with full cross-platform multiplayer available right away. The matchmaking patch released on May 28, 2026 is included here too, which means Switch 2 players can squad up with friends on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, rather than being limited to a smaller Nintendo-only player base.

It has also reached an estimated 4.4 million Steam sales and about 33.3 million in premium revenue. Over on Xbox, the Game Pass launch gave it another lift, helping it reach No. 21 on the Top 40 Xbox Chart and making it the ninth-largest Game Pass debut of 2026.
