DC Universe Online, the comic book MMORPG featuring heroes like Superman, Batman, and more, is coming to the Nintendo Switch.

Originally launched in 2011 on PC and the PlayStation 3, and later updated for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, the game has been steadily expanding for almost a decade, becoming a truly massive MMO. Despite being a massive undertaking, PC players have slowed and decreased over the last few years, but a new platform should be helpful to boost players. Thanks to the Switch’s unique demographic, a new generation of players will get the chance to play the game on an entirely different platform, as Daybreak Games officially DC Universe Online to the Nintendo Switch.

A staple of modern free-to-play gaming, DCUO has grown over the past decade, with its newest and most exciting evolution to date coming this summer. This is the first time the game has ever come to a Nintendo system, and its developers hope that having the portable capabilities of the Switch will be a great asset to the game. DC Universe Online has incorporated small element changes for the move to the system, and even though the online game won’t have cross-play, the free-to-play game will give players across all systems access to a near decade of the franchise.

Coming to the Switch has breathed new life into the game, championing it as a fantastic jumping-on point for new and old players alike. The game does the free-to-play MMO style well, and despite falling off many player’s radars on PC, the handheld Switch is great for hopping on and playing a bit when looking to mix things up. If you have not tried it, be sure to give it a go when the game releases on the Switch this summer.
