Gear up, gamers! The award-winning point-and-click adventure game, The Drifter, is set to hit the Nintendo Switch later this month, and that's not all – it will also be available on the much-anticipated Switch 2. Slated for release on June 22, 2026, The Drifter promises an immersive gaming experience, boasting up to 4K 120fps support on the Switch 2, delivering extra crisp pixel art and ultra-smooth parallax scrolling. Players on the Switch 2 can choose between twin-stick controls or a traditional point-and-click experience using the Joy-Con 2's mouse functionality. Developed by Melbourne-based Powerhoof – the minds behind the 2014 dungeon crawler beat 'em up Crawl – The Drifter is a fast-paced, 2D adventure that draws inspiration from the works of Stephen King, Michael Crichton, and John Carpenter, with a dash of '70s Ozploitation films for good measure. Honored as Game of the Year at the 2025 Australian Game Developer Awards, The Drifter also bagged awards for Excellence in Art, Excellence in Narrative, and Excellence in Sound Design. Currently available on PC via Steam and GOG.com, get ready to dive into this thrilling adventure soon on your Nintendo Switch!
