Development

In February 2022, Supermassive Games filed trademarks for six potential future entries, including Switchback.[6] Unlike previous entries of the series, it is not published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, instead being self-published by Supermassive Games.[7] The game was originally planned to release alongside the PlayStation VR2 headset on February 22, 2023, but Supermassive Games announced in January 2023 that the game's release would be delayed until March 16, 2023.[8]
