In the years since it was released, Disco Elysium, a roleplaying game from developer ZA/UM, has reached an impressive level of critical acclaim. Bagging awards for its narrative, soundtrack, and direction, Disco Elysium has helped push the RPG genre forward in many different ways. Now, the game will soon be making its way to the Nintendo Switch, though there are some changes coming with it.

Official confirmation of Disco Elysium’s Switch port came during the Nintendo Direct presentation that took place last month, making it just one of the major announcements dropping during the show. While it’s an obvious fit for the platform, it took some elbow grease to make it work as well as possible. Game Rant recently learned more about the Switch port during a press presentation for the game.

One of the most noticeable differences in Disco Elysium for Switch will be the overhauled UI. ZA/UM stated that it took a massive UI rework to get the game where it wanted it to be on the Switch, including changes to the font and more. Players spend most of their time buried in text menus in Disco Elysium, so it’s a change that will have a surprisingly big effect on the game as a whole.

As ZA/UM puts it, the team has spent a lot of effort ensuring that the game is as pretty as it can be on a handheld device, thanks to what was apparently an “interesting” optimization process. All around, The focus seems to be on maintaining the core DNA of Disco Elysium while making it fit well onto the new platform.

Disco Elysium is a unique game because it’s appeal lies directly in its writing and presentation rather than its technical performance and moment-to-moment game mechanics. With a large audience of RPG fans on the Switch, the game could broaden its horizons significantly in the coming months, assuming that the launch goes off without a hitch. Plus, the game is also coming to Xbox consoles for those that are without a Switch.

Those that haven’t played Disco Elysium may want to give the game a try now. The game has been a groundbreaking experiment for RPGs, which explains, in part, why it’s won so many awards. While many of the changes being made to the Switch version of the game don’t seem massive, sometimes the best changes possible are simply subtle tweaks.

Disco Elysium releases for Switch on October 12.
