The popular social gaming title Rec Room is set to welcome more players. Beginning on November 6, Nintendo Switch owners can finally experience the 2016 game.
“We’ve dreamed about this moment for years and are honored to bring Rec Room to the Nintendo Switch,” said Nick Fajt, CEO of Rec Room. “Nintendo has played a big role in my lifelong love of video games and I’m excited to be able to bring the fun and creativity of Rec Room to their platform," he added.
The Switch expansion also made Rec Room the 'most cross-platform game to date.' Since its release, the game has been available on PCs, consoles, virtual reality (VR), and mobile platforms.
Aside from cross-platform gameplay, the Nintendo Switch version will have an integrated voice chat. This will allow players to coordinate with friends and navigate adventures in real-time.
Rec Room is a free-to-play, user-generated content (UGC) game. It's similar to the highly-rated mobile game, Roblox. Known for its user-friendly no-code creation tools, Rec Room allows players to build their own worlds and games. These included escape rooms, racing challenges, and player-versus-player matches.
They can also publish them across all available platforms. According to its creators, Rec Room has already amassed over 100 million lifetime users.
The game’s release on Switch this November 6 also comes with an option for players to pre-register at the game's official website. Pre-registered users will receive an exclusive in-game rewards to commemorate the Nintendo Switch launch.
Rec Room also includes safety features designed for younger audiences. Players aged 12 and under can use “Junior Accounts".
