Outward Definitive Edition is $2 on Nintendo eShop until November 1

ComicBook.com reported on Oct. 24, 2026 that Outward Definitive Edition is on sale for $2 on the Nintendo eShop.

ComicBook.com reports that the open-world RPG normally costs $40 on the Nintendo eShop. The outlet describes the reduction as a 95% discount live on the eShop until November 1. It calls $2 the new lowest price for the Switch game and says Outward has never been this cheap before.

ComicBook.com describes Outward as both an open-world RPG and a survival game set in a fantasy world. It evokes The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind through its setting, sense of discovery, and vulnerability in an unforgiving world. Players control an ordinary character rather than a powerful warrior or devastating mage, a design choice that underpins the survival mechanics. Combat can be difficult and almost Dark Souls-esque.

According to ComicBook.com, Canada-based Nine Dots released Outward in 2019 with publisher Deep Silver. The studio made its 2014 debut with GoD Factory: Wingmen, a title that hardly made an impact. Outward was Nine Dots’ sophomore effort, and it put the studio on the map. The game has sold over one million copies to date.

ComicBook.com notes that Outward was not available on Nintendo Switch at launch but arrived on the platform in 2024. The Switch Definitive Edition includes the base game plus two DLC releases named The Soroboreans and The Three Brothers. Buyers receive both DLCs along with the base game. Nintendo Switch 2 owners must play the Switch copy through backward compatibility because no native Switch 2 version exists.

ComicBook.com reports that the Nintendo Switch eShop does not have user reviews, so potential buyers on Switch and Switch 2 must rely on review insights from other platforms. On Steam, Outward has 15,738 user reviews and a 73% approval rating. On the PlayStation Store, the game has a 4/5 rating after more than 6,300 user reviews, and the Xbox Store shows a score like the PlayStation Store rating. Outward has a Metacritic score of 69.

ComicBook.com says the Switch Definitive Edition offers up to 50 hours of content for every $1 spent. The outlet states this cannot be beaten for buyers wanting to maximize content per dollar.
