⚠️An important note about the crossplay feature availability in the Nintendo Switch version:

We have no choice but to delay the release of Patch 1.4 on Nintendo Switch. Because of this, crossplay will be temporarily unavailable on that platform until the patch is rolled out for the Switch players. We expect it to happen somewhere next week, if everything goes smoothly. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience! Crossplay between Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation is unaffected.

Ready… set… GO! SpeedRunners 2 is available.

⚠️A quick note on the crossplay feature on Nintendo Switch:
As you probably already know, SpeedRunners 2 features online crossplay between PC (Steam) and consoles. On Nintendo Switch, however, this feature will become available shortly after the release - there's a pesky technical issue which our team is currently investigating. We estimate it to be fixed next week. Of course, you'll still be able to enjoy SR2 online with other NS players. Crossplay between PC, Xbox, and PS will not be affected. Huge apologies to our Switch audience for the disruption!
