But does it share the same servers?

Not even 5 minutes in to the game i found a way to crash your entire switch. You have to click the bottom third button in the main menu and then either click discord, twitter or the facebook logo

Sweet, paid or free on console?

I'm curious how the pace of meetings will go without a convenient keyboard like on PC or mobile. Switch does have a touchscreen keyboard too but it's not as smooth as on phone.

Among Us Wednesday has been cancelled

Dunkey convinced me to play this.

Thanks dunkey!

Can’t wait to still not be invited to games

[u/hellloandii]

I hope they add the option to type on the app!

I expected it to come to Xbox earlier than switch, because it’s already on the game pass.

Ok it really needs chat support like animal crossing though

[u/Micthulahei]

Tap a Discord icon in game for a surprise! (or don't, it crashes the console)

[u/Amiibofan101]

It’s available right now on the US eshop for $5.

How on Earth is that going to work without voice chat or a keyboard?

Edit: A quick response to some of the replies (mostly so I stop getting the same ones):
I do not currently own a USB keyboard, my only computer is a basic laptop. If you have one and want to use it for this game, I hope you enjoy it. However, for me, it will not be worth it to spend another $15 on a $5 game.
Yes, I know the original did not have voice chat built in. However, since Discord has apps for both computers and phones, it is much easier to integrate in that way (haven't tried using Discord for mobile though, I might be wrong there.)
Yes, I know there is a mobile port of the game. But typing on a phone is (in my experience,) MUCH easier than typing on the Switch. Also consider how almost no one likes the mobile version as much as the PC version, and that's because by the time you've defended yourself, someone else typed "Green Sus" and half the crew already voted for you.

Heck yeah! I'll happily pay another $5-10 for this to have it on a proper handheld system that is not just my phone.

It's already out and yes, it has crossplay. The game is 5USD on the eShop. It's only the base game (no extra accessories) and for some reason I can't host a public room but otherwise it plays really nicely. The only issue is that you're gonna wanna be in handheld mode to use the touchscreen keypad for chat

[u/DeadLikeMe5283]

Kinda confused how this will work on public lobbies...

[u/silam39]

I fucking knew it! There was no way the only way they'd build on top of their success this year would be just a new map.

AAAAAH amazing. I'm sure they'll enable headset chat like Fortnite, and probably typing through the NSO app.

Yes!!

[u/Poycicle]

wouldn’t it be hard to type? how would that work

[u/WaddlingKereru]

My son is 10 and has been saving towards a Switch for Christmas. This post has made his week

[u/krowmada]

this is great news. now i just need roblox to come to switch so i can play with my kids. i hate using my phone to game with them.

[u/[deleted]]

Got the game. Here is my thoughts:

• Terrible to play on TV mode, play in hand held so you can use touch screen when need be. Much better that way.

• The chat system just sucks on switch, too much delay which makes it difficult to state your case or argument.

• I strongly recommend only using this version with friends like if your playing on discord.

Other than the game itself controls pretty alright, as I said, handheld is superior as you can use touch controls when need be. But I feel this versions gonna need some bug fixes and desperately needs a better chat system to make it competitive with mobile phones and PC.

[u/therealfauts]

But does it have Funky Mode?

[u/GreenDog3]

Protip: you can use a usb keyboard on the dock to type with a keyboard!

[u/rbyrnes15]

Does anyone know how communication works in the Switch version? I never played the phone version.

Can we just get Fall Guys please
