After selling over 20 million copies on Steam, Meccha Chameleon comes to Nintendo Switch 2 later today

Meccha Chameleon, an indie hide-and-seek game that has become one of 2026’s biggest breakout hits, is launching on Nintendo Switch 2 later today following an announcement during a Nintendo Direct presentation.

The game, developed by lemorion_1224 and Haganeiro in just two months, features a unique prop-hunt-style gameplay mechanic with a creative twist. Players on the “hiding” team use painting tools to blend their characters into the environment by matching colors and patterns of walls, furniture, and decor while carefully posing to mimic their surroundings. Meanwhile, the “It” team searches for suspicious spots and can tag hiders with a paint gun, converting them to their team if found.

Since its Steam launch in June 2026, Meccha Chameleon has achieved extraordinary commercial success, selling over 20 million copies in just a few months. The game has rapidly captured the gaming community’s attention and is widely recognized as one of the year’s most successful and creative titles, helping to popularize the emerging “friendslop” multiplayer genre.

The Switch 2 port represents the game’s first console release, making it accessible to a broader audience beyond PC players. However, significant details remain unclear: Nintendo has not yet announced the exact launch time or pricing for the Switch 2 version. Additionally, there is currently no confirmation regarding releases on other major gaming platforms such as PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S, leaving players on those systems without a confirmed timeline for the game’s arrival.
