With Lies of P: Complete Edition landing on Nintendo Switch 2 on 6 August 2026, NEOWIZ has sent preview builds out to the press — and the early verdict is reassuringly positive for Switch 2 owners who have been waiting to experience one of the best soulslikes of recent years entirely in handheld mode.
What the Preview Roundup Says About Lies of P on Switch 2
Nintendo Life compiled impressions from multiple outlets and the picture is one of a port that punches above expectations. As relayed in Nintendo Life’s preview roundup, Gaming Trend described it as “a very well thought out port, and just excellent all around.”
The Outerhaven called it “a surprisingly strong port” in their hands-on impressions, and COG Connected concluded in their Switch 2 preview that “while the Switch 2 version might lag behind the PC and PS5 versions in visual quality, the game remains incredibly fun and addictive — Lies of P is a must-play.”
The sole point of friction noted across multiple outlets is Quality Mode in handheld — it can dip below a locked framerate in more complex areas. The recommendation from most reviewers: stick to Performance mode for the smoothest experience while handheld.
Performance Modes and the Day-One Patch
The Switch 2 version ships with multiple graphical presets. In handheld mode you choose between Performance and Quality; in TV (docked) mode, there are three options including a balanced middle ground. A day-one patch will add a dedicated 60fps Performance mode for handheld — so download that update before you start your first run.
For Singapore Switch 2 owners who use their console primarily in handheld on the MRT or during lunch breaks, this is reassuring news. The port has been built with Switch 2-specific features in mind, including GameChat support and optimised controls for the console’s Joy-Con.
What’s in the Complete Edition
The Complete Edition bundles the full base game with the Overture DLC expansion, which was previously sold separately on PC and other consoles. Overture adds a prequel chapter exploring Krat’s world before the main story begins, giving series fans additional lore and fresh challenges.
If you missed Lies of P when it first launched in 2023, this is the definitive way to experience the game: Pinocchio’s mechanical Krat, its stunning Belle Époque aesthetic, and the Issen counter-attack combat system — all on a screen you can take anywhere. A playable demo is also available on other platforms if you want a taste first.
