Is Chained Beasts on Nintendo Switch?

Yes. Chained Beasts is listed as a digital Nintendo Switch game on Nintendo’s official game page.

The Nintendo Singapore page shows October 16, 2026 as its local date. This does not necessarily indicate a later worldwide launch: Featherweight Games announced a release time of October 15 at 17:00 UTC, so the local calendar date can vary by region.

Nintendo’s listing confirms the Switch version, while the supplied information does not specify whether the game supports every Switch model or a separate physical edition. Check the Nintendo eShop in your region for the current purchase and compatibility details.

Multiplayer and Cross-Platform Support

The game’s central idea is cooperative combat while characters are physically chained together. Players can fight alone or team up with as many as four players, using weapons, environmental hazards, and chain positioning to defeat enemies.

The developer’s launch information says players can choose among:

• Solo play
• Online co-op for up to four players
• Cross-play
• Couch co-op

Cross-platform multiplayer is listed on Steam, and the developer also describes cross-play in its launch information. However, platform-specific requirements can vary. For example, PlayStation online multiplayer requires PlayStation Plus according to the PlayStation Store listing, while Xbox and PC access may depend on the selected Game Pass plan or storefront.

Which Platform Should You Choose?

Your best choice depends mostly on where your friends play and whether you prefer local or online co-op.

• Choose Steam if you want Windows or macOS support, PC storefront access, and the listed cross-platform multiplayer features.
• Choose PS5 if your group plays on PlayStation and you already have the required online subscription.
• Choose Nintendo Switch if portable or couch-based play is your priority.
• Choose Xbox Series X|S if you want console co-op, Xbox Play Anywhere, or Game Pass access.
• Choose PC or cloud gaming through Game Pass if you already subscribe to an eligible Xbox plan.

Steam lists a regular price of $19.99 and showed an introductory discount to $12.99 through October 29, 2026 when the source was checked. Prices, promotions, and regional availability can change, so verify the current store page before purchasing.
