A Switch port of the game was revealed during the September 2022 Nintendo Direct, releasing on October 28th of the same year, thus marking the game's debut on a console. Developed and published by Czech studio Wube Software, the game officially left Early Access with version 1.0 on August 14, 2020. Factorio is a crowdfunded top-down two-dimensional Factory-Building Game (the Trope Maker, in fact), with RTS elements planned for later updates.
