The Switch 2 edition of Overcooked 2 drops today, which is something we've
known was coming since September. Now it's here and ready to ruin
relationships and friendships.

The developer promises "enhanced graphics in-line with PC" and 4K 60 fps
gameplay when docked. This should be a night-and-day graphical upgrade when
compared to the original Switch version.

Perhaps the biggest news here is Camera Play integration. This is a feature
exclusive to Nintendo's new console and it leverages a connected camera to
throw up the faces of players under their avatars. Overcooked 2 is already a
frantic experience, but now you'll be able to see the look on the faces of
your friends as you royally screw up a burger order.

It's worth noting that the Switch 2 doesn't come with a camera, but the
company offers one as a standalone accessory. It also integrates with many
USB-C cameras, including this Mario-themed work of art.

The Switch 2 version also works with Game Share, which lets people hop onto a
multiplayer match without actually owning the game. Basically, the person who
owns the game "shares" it with someone who doesn't.

It's also cross-platform with the original Switch, which is neat given the
massive user base. Upgrading seems like a simple affair, as DLC, save files
and star ratings all carry over. This upgrade costs $10 and buying the game
outright costs $30. However, there's a 20 percent discount for the first
week.
