Outright Games Expands PAW Patrol Adventure With Enhanced Nintendo Switch 2 Version
LONDON — Family-focused video game publisher Outright Games, in partnership with Nickelodeon, has announced that PAW Patrol: Dino World will launch on Nintendo Switch 2 on Oct. 2, 2026, bringing upgraded visuals and enhanced performance to Nintendo’s newest console.
The announcement comes ahead of the game’s broader multi-platform release on July 31, when the title will debut on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. The Switch 2 version will follow approximately two months later, offering technical improvements designed to take advantage of the more powerful hardware.
The game is the latest addition to the long-running PAW Patrol franchise, one of the most recognizable children’s entertainment brands globally. The release also aligns with growing interest in the franchise ahead of the upcoming PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie.
Family-Friendly Adventure Takes Players to Dino Island
In PAW Patrol: Dino World, players join popular characters including Chase, Marshall, Skye and other members of the rescue team as they travel to Dino Island. The adventure is inspired by Season 13 of the television series and features an original story built around exploration, environmental restoration and rescue missions.
Designed with younger players in mind, the game focuses on accessible gameplay and cooperative problem-solving. Throughout the adventure, players explore a variety of island regions while helping dinosaurs and local inhabitants overcome challenges caused by Mayor Humdinger.
One of the game’s key locations is a Jungle region where players work to restore damaged environments. Objectives include replanting Plumvines, cleaning pollution, repairing infrastructure and rescuing stranded dinosaurs. As players complete missions, affected areas gradually return to life, reinforcing the game’s environmental and teamwork themes.
Enhanced Nintendo Switch 2 Features Announced
Visual Upgrades Aim to Improve Immersion
According to Outright Games, the Nintendo Switch 2 edition will include several technical enhancements intended to deliver a more immersive experience.
The upgraded version will feature improved textures and graphics, denser foliage and environmental details, extended draw distances and enhanced visual effects. These additions are expected to provide a richer presentation compared with the standard Nintendo Switch release.
The announcement reflects a broader trend across the gaming industry, where publishers are releasing enhanced editions of family-oriented titles to take advantage of newer console hardware.
Local Co-op and GameShare Support Included
The Nintendo Switch 2 version will also support local cooperative play and Nintendo’s GameShare functionality, allowing families and friends to experience Dino Island together.
Multiplayer features have become an increasingly important component of family gaming, particularly for younger audiences who often play alongside siblings, parents or friends in shared household settings.
Growing Demand for Licensed Family Games
The release highlights the continued strength of licensed children’s entertainment properties within the video game market. Franchises such as PAW Patrol have proven successful in translating television audiences into interactive gaming experiences, particularly among younger players and families seeking age-appropriate content.
Outright Games has built its business around this segment, publishing titles based on well-known brands across television, film and toy franchises. The company has released games tied to properties including Peppa Pig, Justice League, Star Trek Prodigy and DreamWorks Dragons.
Nickelodeon, meanwhile, remains one of the world’s leading children’s entertainment brands. Now in its 46th year, the company continues to expand its reach through television programming, consumer products, digital media, publishing and feature films.

PAW Patrol: Dino World is scheduled to launch on July 31, 2026, for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. The enhanced Nintendo Switch 2 edition will follow on Oct. 2, 2026.
