Is Halloween: The Game on Nintendo Switch or Switch 2?
No. No Switch or Switch 2 version exists or has been announced. You can buy the game on Steam, PlayStation, Xbox and Epic only.
No. The game is sold on four storefronts: Steam, PlayStation, Xbox and the Epic Games Store. There is no Nintendo version, no Nintendo eShop listing and no announcement of one.
That goes for both consoles. The original Switch and Switch 2 get searched separately, and the answer is the same for each.
The PC minimum spec gives an idea of how big a port would be: 16 GB of RAM, a GTX 1660+-class GPU for 1080p at 30fps, DirectX 12 and an SSD. Demanding games do get ported, but nothing points to this one heading to Nintendo hardware.
If you only own a Switch, the game is currently out of reach. On other hardware, it runs on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Every platform, answered
| PlayStation 5 | Yes | Sold digitally on the PlayStation Store, and on disc as a physical PS5 Limited Collector's Edition. |
|---|---|---|
| Xbox Series X|S | Yes | On both consoles. Series X has a Performance Mode; Series S runs one graphics mode capped at 30 FPS. It is not on Game Pass. |
| PC (Steam / Epic) | Yes | On Steam and the Epic Games Store. Windows only: there is no macOS or Linux build. |
| PlayStation 4 | No | The PlayStation version is PS5 only. The PC minimum spec (16 GB RAM, DirectX 12, SSD required) shows why the last generation was left out. |
| Xbox Game Pass | No | On Xbox Series X|S it is a $39.99 purchase, and no Game Pass release has been announced. |
| Steam Deck | Not rated | Valve has not rated it for Deck, so it is neither Verified nor Playable. The minimum spec asks for a GTX 1660-class GPU and an SSD, so treat it as untested. |
| Crossplay | Yes | PC, PS5 and Xbox players can party up and matchmake together, and party members follow the leader into matchmade lobbies. Cross-progression has not been announced, so your level and unlocks stay on each platform. |
| Australia | No | Refused classification over drug use tied to a gameplay reward, so it is not sold in Australia. New Zealand can buy it on Steam at NZ$60.99, but the PS5 version has been pulled from the New Zealand PlayStation Store. |
