Today indie narrative label Fellow Traveller and developer Jump Over the Age are excited to announce that both Citizen Sleeper and Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector are now available on Nintendo Switch™ 2.
For the first time, Nintendo players can experience both Citizen Sleeper stories on Nintendo Switch™ 2, from surviving life aboard the lawless Erlin's Eye station to navigating dangerous contracts and found-family relationships across the Starward Belt.
Originally released to widespread critical acclaim, the Citizen Sleeper series has become one of indie gaming's most celebrated narrative RPG franchises, praised for its emotional storytelling, dice-driven systems, rich worldbuilding, and unforgettable characters.
The original Citizen Sleeper invites players to live the life of an escaped worker caught in the ruins of interstellar capitalism, balancing survival, community, and freedom aboard a decaying space station inspired by tabletop RPG mechanics.
Its sequel, Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector, expands the universe further into the Starward Belt, placing players in control of a ship, crew, and a future shaped by contracts, relationships, and difficult choices. The sequel has received multiple Game of the Year nominations and continues to grow its global audience through ongoing support and localization updates.
Nintendo Switch™ 2 Edition Features:
-
4K resolution in TV mode
-
Full HD (1080p) in tabletop and handheld modes
-
Native 60fps in TV, tabletop, and handheld modes
Players who already own either title on Nintendo Switch™ can also upgrade to the Nintendo Switch™ 2 Edition at no additional cost.
The launch arrives during a milestone year for the franchise. Over the past year, the Citizen Sleeper universe has continued to expand, welcoming new players through French, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese localization and growing a global community of millions of Sleepers across PC and consoles.
Whether you're stepping aboard Erlin's Eye for the first time or returning to revisit the Belt, there's never been a better time to experience one of indie gaming's most beloved sci-fi series.
