There is no confirmation yet about support for Joy-Con 2 mouse control.
The best-selling video game of all time is making its way to a new platform. Minecraft will arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 on October 27. Developer Mojang says there will be an upgrade path for those who own the Switch version. More details on this will be revealed later.
Minecraft on Switch 2 should have stronger visuals than the previous generation version. By default, it will enable Vibrant Visuals, an enhanced graphics mode that Mojang released last year. It features directional lighting, volumetric fog, enhanced shadows and much more. The Super Mario Mash-Up pack exclusive to the Nintendo versions of Minecraft will also receive a Vibrant Visuals boost. (Vibrant visuals will not be available in split-screen gameplay, some other game modes, and some market worlds and other content.)
Mojang has not confirmed whether the Switch 2 version will support Joy-Con 2 mouse controls, which could help players create more precise builds faster. We will surely learn more about the port in the coming weeks.
The Switch 2 version of Minecraft will arrive shortly after the latest spin-off of the series. Minecraft II Dungeons will be released on PC and consoles (including Switch and Switch 2) on September 29.
