Another Crab’s Treasure Switch 2 Edition: Free Upgrade, Features, Price and Release Date

Nintendo Life’s listing also reports up to 120fps in handheld mode at 1080p, with docked play reaching up to 4K. However, the more general feature descriptions from other reports emphasize improved frame rate, 1080p resolution and stability rather than specifying every mode’s maximum output.

How existing Switch owners get the upgrade

If you already own Another Crab’s Treasure on Nintendo Switch, the Switch 2 Edition is available as a free download through the eShop.

Owners of the original physical Switch release can also receive the digital upgrade when playing on a Switch 2. Existing save data transfers over, so players can continue their current adventure rather than starting again.

The supplied reporting describes the upgrade as available at no extra charge for Switch owners.

Price: free for owners, but storefront listings vary

For existing Switch owners, the upgrade price is $0. The regular digital MSRP for the original game is $29.99.

A Nintendo Life listing reports the Switch 2 Edition at $19.99 in the United States and £17.99 in the United Kingdom. Meanwhile, the supplied price-tracking data lists the Switch digital version at a $29.99 price point, so the current sale price should be checked directly in the eShop before buying.

An earlier 40%-off Switch promotion reduced the $29.99 price to $17.99, but that sale was reported as ending May 5 and should not be treated as the current August 2026 offer.

What is Another Crab’s Treasure about?

Another Crab’s Treasure is an underwater soulslike set in an ocean collapsing under a mysterious curse. Players control Kril, a hermit crab whose shell has been repossessed. To buy it back, Kril searches for treasure while using discarded objects as makeshift shells and uncovering the secrets behind the ocean’s pollution.

The game originally launched on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC, including Steam and the Microsoft Store.

A continuation of Aggro Crab’s free support

The Switch 2 Edition follows a broader pattern of free updates for the game. Aggro Crab’s Year of the Crab update added requested features including New Game+, Boss Rush, new costumes, upgrades and achievements or trophies.

That earlier update expanded the game with new ways to play. The Switch 2 Edition takes a different approach by improving the original console experience itself: smoother performance, clearer visuals and fewer interruptions during play. For existing Switch players, it is a substantial platform upgrade without another purchase.
