Press release:
K’jipuktuk/Halifax, Nova Scotia, CA – 9 November 2026: Developer Max Inferno and publisher Secret Mode have arranged the launch of a Nintendo Switch™ 2 edition of cozy puzzler A Little to the Left, just in time for its fourth birthday. This new version launches today, with a free upgrade path available for existing Nintendo Switch™ players.

A Little to the Left on Switch 2 will benefit from a tidy collection of improvements, including faster load times, improved graphical quality, and 120fps support with compatible displays. Joy-Con 2 users will also be able to use Mouse Mode to directly drag and drop items when tidying up, simply by flipping the Joy-Con 2 on its side. USB mouse and keyboard support has also been added.

Alongside this release, all platforms will be spruced up with a new patch, which focuses on sweeping up some issues in the Daily Tidy and Seeing Stars DLC puzzles.

A Little to the Left began as a game jam project for Annie Macmillan and Lukas Steinman, and has since launched on all major platforms, received two paid DLCs, and has been played by over 13 million puzzle fans. It is available now on PC, Mac, Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation® 5, PlayStation® 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, iOS, and Android.
