Developer Steel Wool Studios is teaming up with iam8bit to give Nintendo Switch owners a physical release of Five Nights at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic. Originally released digitally for the Switch last December, players can now pre-order the physical version, with copies shipping on July 3, 2026.
Fans who pick up the special Nintendo Switch retail edition will also receive an exclusive 12”x18” fold-out poster and a bonus digital download code for the game’s soundtrack.
Five Nights at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic takes players through the abandoned workshop of Murray’s Costume Manor, where a new secret and hints of an ever-present threat lie around every corner. Along the way, players must uncover the dark mystery left behind by reclusive inventor Edwin Murray as they evade encounters of The Mimic, a prototype endoskeleton that aims to terrify by adapting to any and every character imaginable. Through wits, a few gadgets and a heavily redacted corporate briefing, players will need to retrieve Fazbear’s prized prototype technology while making it out safely on the other side.
In addition to the Switch, Five Nights at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic is also available for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
