This is the first full release of Bedrock Edition for Nintendo Switch 2, after a closed beta of the native version was available.<ref name="switch1">Template:Mcnet</ref> As opposed to the original Nintendo Switch version, which is backward-compatible with Nintendo Switch 2, this native version includes Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals, and an increase of the regular render distance to 28 chunks.
