Lies of P: Complete Edition is now available on Nintendo Switch 2, and it brings the entire game with it — including the Overture prequel expansion and every post-launch update the Soulslike has picked up since its 2023 debut. The digital version went live on the eShop August 6, priced at $69.99, with a physical release following on October 2.

What’s actually in the box

“Complete Edition” isn’t just a rebrand for the sake of a new storefront listing. It bundles the base game, the full Overture DLC (a lengthy prequel campaign that fills in Geppetto’s backstory before the events of the main story), and every quality-of-life patch released since launch — including new difficulty options and challenge modes that weren’t part of the original 2023 release. If you never played Lies of P and have been waiting for a Switch-native version, this is the most complete package the game has shipped in.

Round Eight Studio also pushed a day-one patch specific to this port that adds a 60fps performance mode when the console is undocked. That’s a meaningful detail for a game built around tight parry timing — docked/handheld frame rate gaps have been the difference between “playable” and “frustrating” for plenty of Switch 2 Soulslike ports this year.

Price and physical release

The digital edition is $69.99 — the standard price for a Switch 2 game with this much content attached. Physical copies are handled by iam8bit, shipping October 2 alongside retail availability at major stores. Every physical copy ships as a full cartridge (not a download code in a box, which has been a sore point for some recent Switch 2 releases), and preorders include six Boss Lore cards as a bonus. iam8bit is also offering a Switch 2-exclusive collector’s edition for anyone who wants the packaging to match the game’s Belle Époque aesthetic.

Early impressions have been solid. Final Weapon’s review landed at 4/5, calling it “one of the best Soulslikes in gaming” and specifically praising how well the port holds up on Switch 2 hardware — not a watered-down conversion, but a genuine feature-complete version of the game.

Why this port matters

Switch 2’s first year has been a mixed bag for demanding action games — some ports have needed post-launch patches just to hit a stable frame rate. Lies of P shipping with a dedicated 60fps handheld mode on day one, rather than promising one later, is the kind of detail that tells you a studio actually built for the hardware instead of just recompiling for it.

It also puts Switch 2 in an unusual position: a portable console that can now run a full Soulslike, its full DLC campaign, and a two-year backlog of patches, all in one $69.99 package. That’s a different pitch than “Switch 2 finally gets a big third-party game” — it’s “Switch 2 gets the definitive version of one.”

For context, the original Lies of P launched in September 2023 to a warmer reception than most expected from a debut studio — Round Eight Studio’s take on a Pinocchio-as-Bloodborne premise turned out to be one of the better Soulslikes released that year, and Overture (its first major DLC) extended that goodwill when it arrived in 2025. Complete Edition is effectively the version of the game Round Eight always wanted people to play: no missing content, no separate DLC purchase, and now a handheld mode built to actually hit its frame rate target instead of chasing it after launch.

Where to go from here: if you’re weighing whether your Switch 2 can actually handle a game like this at a playable frame rate, our breakdown of Elden Ring’s rocky path to Switch 2 is worth reading — it covers exactly the kind of performance trade-offs that separate a good port from a bad one. And if the $69.99 price tag has you wondering why Switch 2 software costs what it does this year, we’ve also covered why Nintendo’s hardware pricing ended up more restrained than Sony’s or Microsoft’s.

Lies of P: Complete Edition is available now digitally on the Nintendo Switch 2 eShop, with physical copies arriving October 2.
