Hit Superhero Comedy Dispatch Will Soon No Longer Be PlayStation Console Exclusive

Superhero workplace comedy game Dispatch has just popped up on the Nintendo eShop for Switch and Switch 2, and is already available to pre-order.

There’s been no formal word yet by developer AdHoc Studio, but the Nintendo eShop listing is now live in Australia, where Switch owners can pre-order the game. There’s even a release date, too: January 29, 2026.

For Nintendo Switch 2 owners, a free upgrade pack will be available to download separately, providing a version of the game with enhanced resolution and improved frame rates. As of yet, there’s no sign of the game arriving on Xbox — though we’ll update this article again when AdHoc makes any formal announcement.

Dispatch first launched back in October for PC and PlayStation 5, where it quickly won over a legion of fans for its quirky, episodic storytelling, and shifted 2 million copies over its first month on sale — something its team had projected the game would reach after two years.

The game features an ensemble cast of heroes voiced by some famous faces, including Aaron Paul, Laura Bailey, Jeffrey Wright, and Matthew Mercer, while its development team features key personel from Telltale Games’ heyday, who previously worked on The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us and Tales from the Borderlands.

“Dispatch is a sharp-witted workplace comedy that charms with its smart dialogue choices, great writing, and lovably aggravating cast,” IGN wrote in our Dispatch review, scoring the game with a super 9/10.
