Platforms & Release
- Release date: October 9, 2025
- Platforms: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2

Editions & Pricing
- Digital price: $29.99

Switch 2 cartridge: full game included
Importantly for collectors: the Nintendo Switch 2 physical edition is a full cartridge that contains the complete game and does not use Nintendo’s “game-key card” system (empty cartridge + mandatory download). This makes the physical Switch 2 release particularly appealing to collectors.
Upgrade discount
Owners of the original Yooka-Laylee can receive a 30% discount on the remaster when purchasing on the same platform family as the original (e.g., Switch → Switch 2, PS4 → PS5, Xbox One → Xbox Series X/S).
What’s new in the remaster
The remaster adds updated challenges, an orchestral soundtrack, a larger map, a refined story, improved graphics and performance, and extra collectibles while keeping the collectathon spirit of the original (influenced by Banjo-Kazooie and other Rare-era platformers).
