Matthew Griffin, Team Cherry's Marketing and PR Handler, took to Twitter (X) on April 8 to address these concerns. He confirmed that Silksong will indeed be released on both the original Switch and the Switch 2, alleviating fears of a skipped generation.

While specifics on how the versions will differ remain under wraps, players can anticipate a higher resolution experience on the Switch 2, thanks to its enhanced capabilities.
