A new update for Dragon Quest Builders on Nintendo Switch was released on March 17th or 18th, depending on where you are located. Both Nintendo and Square Enix have made the patch available.
So, it’s been a while, but this is the first update for the Switch version of the game here in the West since it came out back in 2018. It’s a little weird, though – Nintendo still lists it as unsupported for backwards compatibility on the Switch 2 because of some issues with how the game saves progress. I’m not sure if this update fixes that, but right now you can’t even buy the game directly on the Switch 2 eShop. I’m planning on checking it all out over the next few days when I revisit my article about the best RPGs to play using the Switch 2’s handheld boost mode – I’ll let you know what I find!
Dragon Quest Builders is now playable on a wide range of devices, including Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Vita, plus mobile devices like iOS and Android, and computers via Steam.
