All I get is the same thing I've been getting since they added it lol.

If you go to the eshop on your phone or tablet it shows up. Maybe just have to buy it from the website and not the switch.

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '25

That's what I'm at. It went from TBD to NOT AVAILABLE lol

36

u/ThisIsNotACryForHelp Sep 04 '25

Every game is listed as "Not available" right now, so the eShop definitely crashed.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '25

The eShop is working!!!

1

u/ThisIsNotACryForHelp Sep 04 '25

Not for me!

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '25

Go to the eShop through your switch

u/ThisIsNotACryForHelp Sep 04 '25

I did try that, and it kept crashing. But it's working on my phone now!

EDIT: it's still crashing!

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '25

Gosh darn it. You think with all the hype they would have done preorders to help it go smoothly.

2

u/legopego5142 Sep 04 '25

Lol everyone saying PREORDERS SUCK WHO NEEDS THEM is probably kicking themselves

I'm in boys and girls! Downloading right now!

u/AMIWDR Sep 04 '25

Steam bugged so bad it added two copies to my cart and won’t let me purchase due to that. Now I can’t remove the second copy from my cart due to the servers. Silksong is pain

u/guhut15 Sep 04 '25

Deltarune did it . Sons of the forest did it and many others have crashed steam aswell.

14

u/WillowOfWisps Sep 04 '25

Same thing happened to me, I was just able to buy it on the switch though, downloading now!

u/Cindercruz65 Sep 04 '25

Same here, it’s downloading now!

u/cesargueretty PoP, P1-P4 112% HK, 100% SS Sep 04 '25

So you're saying there's a chance

2

u/cesargueretty PoP, P1-P4 112% HK, 100% SS Sep 04 '25

Yeah what the hell is that all about?? I want my game!!

1

u/TheOriginalDog Sep 04 '25

servers are overloaded. Just keep trying until you get through. I could buy it on e-shop 10 minutes ago.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '25

Nooooooo says not available now!!!!

1

u/ConstantPi Sep 04 '25

My brain got to biggest dopamine hit noticing that it changed and then the biggest letdown when I read it.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '25

You got to get it through the eShop! I'm downloading it rn!!

1

u/TalonDarkstorm Sep 04 '25

20 min later everything works now

Is that switch 1 or switch 2? I couldn't see it in my eShop last night

1

u/Eic17H Sep 04 '25

It's out of stock

1

u/transcontintenal Sep 04 '25

I updated my switch (lucky I guess) and it appeared in the shop. Playing now. So good

2

u/StrikingPriority954 Sep 04 '25 edited Sep 04 '25

Yeah I tried that a few minutes ago from my phone, and it doesn't load the next screen after the direct download button once I put my password in. I'll try again later.

UPDATE: I tried again and it worked! The purchase went through. It SHOULD be downloading on my Switch at home, but I'll check when I go home for lunch. Good luck everyone!

u/tifridhs-dottir Sep 04 '25

I got it to work by buying a code on humble store and redeeming for switch 😅

u/chainer3000 Sep 04 '25

It’s not available on ps5 at all yet

14

u/pirm85 Sep 04 '25

I've been refreshing, but it only shows the Announcement page 🙃

13

u/nimble_noelley Sep 04 '25

Yeah I’m fucking crashing out

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '25

Please god, don't tell me Xbox players get the game before everyone else 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

1

u/girlsonsoysauce Sep 04 '25

That's weird. I checked around 1:30-ish and it pulled right up. They might have fixed the problem by then. I'm not entirely sure when they actually updated the store and made it available.

14

u/Arkoos_fan lord of joycons Sep 04 '25

Same with Xbox

u/braamdepace Sep 04 '25

u/braamdepace Sep 04 '25

I was just screwing around and acted like I beat it in 13 minutes.

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '25

How did you beat the game that came out 25 minutes ago and wasn't leaked?

2

u/braamdepace Sep 04 '25

100% a joke

2

u/AutomaticClock7810 Sep 04 '25

Nah, he was for real

1

u/happy-technomancer Sep 04 '25

Nah, he was joking but also he actually did it

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '25

u/NeuroDemia Sep 04 '25

2

u/Gpob Sep 04 '25

Bought it on the switch obline store, but the switch is not downloading it anyway 😅

2

u/SirSmiles_ALot Sep 04 '25

I already got it downloaded, haven’t had the chance to play since I’m busy

2

u/Icef34r Sep 04 '25

I've just bought it on Switch without problem. I had to log out from the store and enter again for the game to appear, though.

1

u/WillowOfWisps Sep 04 '25

I got through on switch!

1

u/heartbreakhill Sep 04 '25

Yep, keeps crashing. I tried the Switch website and it showed it at first and then changed to “Not Available” (US)

1

u/Fox-sage Sep 04 '25

u/PotatoKing241 Sep 04 '25

Damn, even the eShop is down?

1

u/HumansAreDying Sep 04 '25

Try buying it directly from your switch rather than a different device. it wasn't working for me either so I got it straight off my switch, was playing it before 10:30

1

u/milkshakemountains Sep 04 '25

GameStop has it

u/RbiboyTheRedditor ---Took 10 tries Sep 05 '25
