Nintendo Switch system owners were looking forward to Dispatch coming to the two consoles but when it arrived it was heavily censored provoking outcry from the community. Thankfully the censorship has now been toned down, thanks to a new free DLC pack. However, certain aspects of Dispatch on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 are still censored, so it’s been a compromise.
According to the studio, certain “hard requirements” from Nintendo remain in effect, so seeing genitalia outright is still not happening, and certain erotic audio effects won’t be heard.
The team at developer AdHoc has explained why the game was so heavily censored on the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 in the first place. Here’s what they had to say:
“Approaching launch and running out of time and resources, we were surprised to learn that our game would require some level of censoring in all regions, not just the few we were already planning for,. In a difficult spot, we decided to use a single Switch build that complied with Nintendo’s strictest regional rating. This led us to deliver a more censored version of Dispatch than Switch players were expecting.”
