1080p at 60 FPS With No Confirmed Upgrade Path: Figment 1 and 2 Launch on Nintendo Switch 2 on November 19
Danish indie studio Bedtime Digital Games is bringing its surreal musical action-adventure duology to Nintendo's new hybrid hardware. According to official product listings live on the Nintendo Store, native versions of Figment 1 and Figment 2: Creed Valley will launch digitally on Nintendo Switch 2 on November 19, 2026.
Following the original Nintendo Switch debut of the first chapter on June 28, 2018 and its sequel on March 9, 2023, both standalone releases now run at 1080p resolution and 60 frames per second alongside enhanced visuals, doubling the 30 FPS target of the previous generation.
From Sub-30 FPS Dips to 1080p at 60 FPS on Nintendo Switch 2
Developed in Aalborg, Denmark by Bedtime Digital Games, both titles take place inside the recesses of the human mind. Players control Dusty, the mind's grumpy former voice of courage, accompanied by his ever-optimistic bird companion Piper, journeying across hand-painted biomes populated by trumpet trees, piano houses, and fully voiced Nightmare bosses who sing their own villain themes during combat.
On the original Switch hardware, timing dodges to the beat of the dynamic soundtrack was frequently hampered by frame-rate drops below 30 FPS during busy musical showdowns. Much like recent third-party native upgrades such as Stray on Nintendo Switch 2, moving to a locked 60 FPS at 1080p with upgraded visual fidelity directly sharpens swordplay responsiveness and preserves the hand-drawn brushwork across TV, Tabletop, and Handheld modes.
Standalone eShop Listings Outside the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Label
One structural detail on the store pages stands out for returning owners: neither release carries the official Nintendo Switch 2 Edition branding. Instead, Nintendo lists two separate digital SKUs titled simply Figment 1 (NSUID 70010000138604) and Figment 2 (NSUID 70010000138610).
With launch set for November 19, 2026, Bedtime Digital Games has not yet announced whether existing Switch 1 owners will receive a free or discounted upgrade path, nor whether local save data from the original releases ($19.99 for the first game, $24.99 for the sequel) will carry over to the new native builds. Standalone eShop pricing for the two Switch 2 listings also remains to be revealed ahead of release day.

Companion Co-Op and Mind States in Creed Valley
Both entries maintain a compact footprint on internal system storage, requiring under 2 GB combined. While the original chapter guides players across the Freedom Isles, Clockwork Town, and the Pathways with touch-screen support included, Figment 2: Creed Valley on the Nintendo Store expands the formula by letting players toggle between the Mind's Open-minded and Closed-minded perspectives to restore the shattered Moral Compass.
The sequel also retains its local Companion Mode, allowing a second player on the same console to take direct control of Piper during environmental puzzles and rhythmic boss encounters, joining the growing lineup of local multiplayer titles on the platform alongside Sonic Pico Park on Switch 2. Both games support Save Data Cloud backups via Nintendo Switch Online as well as Nintendo Account family-group lending.
My Take
I have always appreciated how Figment turns heavy psychological themes like grief, anxiety, and burnout into approachable musical theatre without losing its emotional weight. On the original Switch, those hand-painted stages and lyrical boss fights were held back by a choppy 30 FPS cap that made rhythmic dodging feel sluggish whenever the screen filled up. Experiencing Dusty and Piper's journey at a crisp 1080p and 60 FPS is the upgrade this duology deserved, though I hope Bedtime Digital Games clarifies an upgrade discount soon so returning players are not asked to pay full price twice.
