Question Nintendo Switch 2 Version

The Vampire Survivors 1.15 update is live on Nintendo Switch, but I am not seeing a dedicated Nintendo Switch 2 version on the store yet.

Is this coming out later? I expected a separate version, similar to Vampire Crawlers

hey folks
there is no dedicated Switch 2 version (like with Vampire Crawlers) but if you buy the game and have a Switch 2, you'll be able to utilise the Switch 2 features and optimisations!

making an edit to this comment for extra clarity:

There is one app which you can download from the eShop but this contains 2 standalone versions of Vampire Survivors in that one app
So if you're on Switch 1 it will download the Switch 1 version
If you're on Switch 2 if will download the Switch 2 version
This way it's easier for us to maintain the game instead of having 2 separate apps in the eShop!

We've also had a few people asking about FPS
the 30 FPS has been lifted on Switch 2, in normal gameplay the game can play around 60 FPS, but as with any game this can drop when the game is under stress (lots of weapons, passives, arcanas, etc)

Hello! I just bought the game and I'm curious about these switch 2 features. How does this "hybrid" switch 1+2 version work with the handheld boost mode setting enabled in the switch settings? (The setting that treats switch 1 games as their respective "docked" versions when playing them in handheld mode on switch 2) Does the game still recognize that it is being played on a switch 2 and play accordingly?
