"In the nearly two decades since Metroid Prime 3, hype for Samus' next adventure has grown immense, and players can finally see whether her latest game lives up to their expectations soon. Whether you're a long-time Metroid fan or a newcomer, Metroid Prime 4 is undoubtedly one of the biggest Nintendo games since the launch of the Switch 2. Here's exactly when you can start playing and what to expect."
"If you don't count the Metroid Prime Remastered Trilogy, Metroid Prime 4 will be the first game in the series to launch on the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. Unlike some other big first-party titles, the Switch 2 edition of Metroid Prime 4 won't differ much from the original Switch version. The newer console will get improved visuals and performance, plus the addition of mouse mode for movement and aiming, but otherwise, both versions of the game are identical."
"To answer the second question first: yes, you can preload Metroid Prime 4. On both versions of the Switch hardware, once you've preordered the game from the Nintendo eShop, you'll immediately get the option to begin preloading."
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond releases on December 4 with digital copies unlocking at midnight local time, and in the U.S. at midnight Eastern Time. The game launches on both Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, with the Switch 2 offering improved visuals, better performance, and an added mouse mode for movement and aiming while remaining otherwise identical. Preloading is available immediately after preorder on the Nintendo eShop for both consoles. The title continues Samus's adventures nearly two decades after Metroid Prime 3 and features locations such as Viewros, home of the Lamorn.
