Amsterdam, The Netherlands — April 23, 2026 — KRAFTON, Inc. today announced the launch of Dinkum on Nintendo Switch 2, bringing the acclaimed cozy survival life sim to Nintendo’s newest platform. Created by solo Australian developer James Bendon, Dinkum invites players to build a town, farm, fish, mine, and explore a world inspired by the Australian outback, either solo or with friends.
As part of today’s announcement, KRAFTON also confirmed that existing Nintendo Switch players can upgrade to the Nintendo Switch 2 version at no additional cost via a free upgrade pass. The Nintendo Switch versions will include the Animal Tracks update, previously released for Steam players.
“I grew up playing Nintendo games, so bringing a game I created to a Nintendo platform is incredibly meaningful to me,” said James Bendon, creator of Dinkum. “The creativity of the Dinkum community continues to inspire me, and I’m excited to keep growing this world with players.”
Alongside its Nintendo Switch 2 debut, Dinkum is also celebrating its first anniversary on Steam with “The Great Bite,” a major content update featuring a brand-new destination to explore. The island introduces climbable cliffs, new plant life, and varied terrain, opening up new ways to explore the world of Dinkum. Players can also restore scattered lighthouses to reveal nearby treasure on the map.
The update also adds new decorative items, collectibles, and vehicles, along with several quality-of-life and customization features. A new Servo feature allows players to summon vehicles from anywhere, while new facial accessories and the Swag Pack customization system offer even more ways to personalize characters.
To mark the game’s first anniversary on Steam, Dinkum will also host a limited-time in-game event. Through May 7, Steam players who sell fish to John’s Goods will receive commemorative tickets that can be exchanged for exclusive items.
In addition, Dinkum will be available at a 20% discount across Steam, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2 beginning April 22 in North America and April 23 in Europe.
