Level-5 the promised update for the Switch version of Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time that adds Switch 2 adjustments, as well as the new version of the game for Nintendo’s latest console, will debut on June 5, 2025. This makes the JRPG yet another launch title for the Switch 2.
The Switch 2 version of the game will be slightly more expensive. The game is only available digitally. It’s $59.99 for the Switch version on the eShop. If someone buys the JRPG for the Switch 2 directly from Nintendo’s storefront, it will be $62.58. If someone had it for the original Switch, it will cost $2.59 for the upgrade.
There’s no video showing the difference between the two versions of the Switch releases yet. However, Level-5 did note three differences. One is that the frame rate will be improved on the Switch 2. It will also load more quickly. Finally, there will be improved graphics, and the publisher did share two side-by-side images comparing those changes.
You can see those comparison screenshots below. Level-5 highlighted specific points to show the differences.
This is just one new addition for the game. Level-5 also promised free DLC would be released for Fantasy Life i after it ed 500,000 copies sold. That sounds like it might involve some endgame or post-game content.
It also means there will be two JRPG games for the Switch 2 at launch, with both being existing titles. In addition to Fantasy Life i, Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster will arrive on launch day.
Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time is available now on the Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, and the Switch 2 version and upgrade update file will launch on June 5, 2025.
