It is on the original Nintendo Switch but not on PS4. Nintendo’s eShop now sells a separate Nintendo Switch version of Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered for $29.99, digital only, while the PlayStation Store lists the game for PS5 alone.
Nintendo’s listing gives the Switch version the same November 3, 2026 release date as the others. Below is what Nintendo’s listing says about the Switch version, how it differs from the Switch 2 one, and where PS4 owners stand.
Original Switch: Yes, as a Digital Download
The game launched on November 3, 2026, on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Switch 2. Atari’s June announcement had named the original Switch too, though before launch Atari told Nintendo Everything that “retail demand has so far dictated a Switch 2 release” and that “a future Switch 1 release is possible.” Nintendo’s eShop now sells it.
Nintendo’s US eShop lists two separate products:
| Nintendo Switch version | Nintendo Switch 2 version | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $29.99 | $29.99 |
| Physical copy | No, eShop only | Yes, $39.99 cartridge from Atari |
| Players | 1 to 4 on one system, 2 online | 1 to 4 on one system, 2 online |
| Online play | Needs Nintendo Switch Online | Needs Nintendo Switch Online |
| Save Data Cloud | Yes | Yes |
| Download size | 4.2 GB | 4.2 GB |
| Digital Deluxe Upgrade | $5.99, or $34.99 with the game | $5.99, or $34.99 with the game |
The Switch listing supports TV, tabletop and handheld modes, and it carries Nintendo’s note that “software compatibility and play experience may differ on Nintendo Switch Lite.” Nintendo also lists the game as supporting lending within a Nintendo Account family group.
The content matches the other versions: the same 12 monsters, the same 8 locations with day and night versions, local versus for up to four and online matchmaking. Our guide to every monster and how to unlock it covers the roster, and the Digital Deluxe Upgrade guide covers the only add-on.
Which Switch Version Should You Buy?
If you own a Switch 2, buy the Switch 2 version. Both cost $29.99, but the Switch 2 version is the one built for that console, and it is the only one with a physical cartridge.
Nintendo does mark the original Switch version as playable on Switch 2, with its compatibility note reading “Game behavior is consistent with Nintendo Switch.” That is useful if you already bought the Switch version and later move to Switch 2, but it means you get the Switch version’s performance, not the Switch 2 one.
If you only have an original Switch or a Switch Lite, the eShop version is your way to play. There is no boxed Switch 1 edition: Atari’s physical releases are PS5 and Switch 2 only. Our best version guide compares how each platform plays.
PS4: No, It Is PS5 Only
The PlayStation Store lists the game for PS5 only, with no PS4 version, and Atari has not said anything about one. PS5 owners can buy it digitally for $29.99 or on disc for the same price, and online play needs PS Plus.
If you only have a PS4, your options are another platform the game is on: PC through Steam, Xbox Series X|S, Switch or Switch 2. On PC, Steam’s minimum specs ask for an Intel Core i7-9700 or Ryzen 5 3600, 16 GB of RAM and a GTX 1650, and our platforms guide lists prices and physical editions for each one.
Xbox One is in the same position as PS4: Microsoft’s listing says the game is available on Xbox Series X|S only.
Can Switch 1 Players Play With Other Platforms?
No crossplay is listed on any store, including Nintendo’s, so plan on online matches staying on your own platform family. Nintendo’s listing does not say whether the Switch and Switch 2 versions match up online with each other. Our crossplay guide covers what each store lists for online play, and the player count guide covers local and online limits on every system.
Local play works the same on Switch as everywhere else: up to four players on one console. On the original Switch, each extra player needs their own controller. Our controls guide has the button layout.
Every guide for the game is on our Godzilla hub.
