Dear Park Managers

Welcome back to another Jurassic World Evolution: Complete Edition Feature Focus. We're merely a month away from the release on Nintendo Switch and we're incredibly excited to bring our beloved dinosaur park simulator to a whole new platform and a whole new community of players.

In the previous Feature Focus we talked about some of the work that went into bringing Jurassic World Evolution to a new console. You can read all about that here. Today, we wanted to discuss the different ways you can play the game.

Dinosaurs on the go

One of our favourite things about Nintendo Switch is that it's both a handheld and TV console, letting you seamlessly go from one to the other! Embracing that was very important to us when developing this version of the game: We wanted players to experience Jurassic World Evolution: Complete Edition both at home or on the go, in Handheld or Tabletop Mode, or on a TV, without losing features or content when going from one to the other. The game looks and plays great, no matter what your choose. It's fully playable as you would expect in Handheld Mode, or Tabletop Mode with detached Joycons or a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller.

In Handheld Mode you can take your dinosaurs with you and play Jurassic World Evolution on the go. Pick it up for a quick check-in during a trip, or settle down for a multi-hour play session in your own backyard, on the sofa, or maybe while visiting a natural history museum, when it's safe to do so of course! There's nothing like seeing a dinosaur skeleton in real life, and then seeing that same dinosaur being brought to life on your Nintendo Switch screen a few seconds later. We hope you'll give it a try when possible!

Coming home, all you have to do is drop your Nintendo Switch into its dock and voila: dinosaurs on your TV.

Dinosaurs at home

In Docked Mode you can experience the majesty and magnificence of the dinosaurs that were in your hands on your TV! The game will work exactly the same as in Handheld or Tabletop Mode.

As we mentioned in the previous Feature Focus, we've been working hard on optimizing the game to run within the capabilities of the console. It wasn't a small feat, and we're proud of what the team has accomplished. From the outset we've aimed for parity between the consoles running Jurassic World Evolution and Nintendo Switch running Jurassic World Evolution: Complete Edition.

It's also been our aim for there to be virtually no difference playing the game in Handheld Mode or Docked Mode and we hope you'll be able to enjoy Jurassic World Evolution: Complete Edition in both configurations. The game looks and plays great no matter what you choose.

I can see that you guys have been doing very good optimizing the game for the next gen consoles as well as make a key compatible with the Nintendo switch my son definitely can't wait to see what is Jurassic world evolution well be like on his Nintendo switch. Although I hope XBox or Microsoft doesn't buy Frontier Studios because lately they've been on a buying Rampage buying a mega Studios and now I hear rumors that they're looking at buying more bigger and smaller gaming Studios. Now GameStop has been rescued by Microsoft and now this gives Microsoft The Edge over Sony. 2020 & Beyond is the age of the Xbox

Frontier would still have to agree to the acquisition, which they probably wouldn't do unless they were struggling. We'll see what happens on the Gamestop situation, though I'd think it'd be more of a benefiting off other console profits situation I'd think, rather than an active sabotage of sales. Double fine was also purchased by Microsoft and while Psychonauts 2 isn't coming to PS5, it is still coming to PS4 as previously promised, so it doesn't seem like they're vindictive necessarily.
 
Great news Jens! thank you for keeping us up to date, even though I don't have a switch and I already have the full game on Xbox one, I'm happy for your achievement and for the entire Frontier team. Jens, ask me a question please, I have all the content paid for and maybe I'll buy the new Xbox, can you tell me if I can play it on Series X?

Microsoft has stated that Xbox Series X and Series S will support all games playable on Xbox One, so Jurassic World Evolution should be playable on the next gen Xboxes. We don't have anything to announce regarding a next gen version of Jurassic World Evolution.
