News: Nintendo Switch gamers finally get a chance to check out Astragon Entertainment’s police simulator either at home or on the go.

The popular simulation game Police Simulator: Patrol Officers is finally coming to Nintendo Switch. Astragon Entertainment and Aesir Interactive have announced that the Nintendo Switch Edition of the hit simulation game will be released on October 29, 2024 and is already available for pre-order. Fans of the series and new players alike will be able to patrol the streets of the fictional city of Brighton and maintain law and order from anywhere - alone or with a friend.

Before the start of their first shift in Police Simulator: Patrol Officers Nintendo Switch Edition, players can choose one of eight different characters. Numerous challenging tasks await them in the fictional US city of Brighton, increasing in difficulty and complexity as they climb the career ladder: Rookies start out handing out parking tickets while on foot patrol, but are soon given their first patrol car to chase speeding road users, clear up accidents and investigate suspects. Experienced police officers eventually apprehend pickpockets, deal with drug trafficking and even investigate the scenes of major crimes. New interactions, vehicles and precincts are continuously unlocked throughout the game, making each shift feel unique. A special game mechanic evaluates players' behavior and rewards them with unlocking new content, while misbehavior can quickly lead to dismissal. In addition to playing on your own, Police Simulator: Patrol Officers Nintendo Switch™ Edition offers the opportunity to go on patrol in online co-op mode with two players.

Police Simulator: Patrol Officers was released for PC and console in November 2022 after a one-year Early Access phase and has received numerous community-requested content, updates and improvements before and after release. With the Police Simulator: Patrol Officers Nintendo Switch Edition, the game has been optimized for the handheld console and includes all the updates that are available for the PC and console version of the main game. The Garage Bundle, which includes 6 additional vehicle DLCs, will also become available on Nintendo Switch - as a separate DLC bundle or in the Police Simulator: Patrol Officers Nintendo Switch Extended Edition together with the main game.

The Nintendo Switch Edition and the Nintendo Switch Extended Edition of Police Simulator: Patrol Officers are now available for pre-order. Pre-orders in the Nintendo eShop will receive not only a 10% pre-order discount, but also the Interstate Police Vehicle DLC, which includes the vintage-style Interstate Police Vehicle, for free.
