Switch 2 Factorio stuck on 2.0.72 — unable to load multiplayer save created on PC 2.0.73

[WujekPawel]

Hi Factorio team,
Could you please update Factorio on Nintendo Switch 2 to the same version currently available on PC?

Right now, the Switch 2 build is 2.0.72, while PC is 2.0.73. This small version mismatch has a real impact: my friends who play on PC opened and saved our shared world on 2.0.73, and now that save is no longer usable on my Switch 2 due to version incompatibility. Even if the PC players downgrade, the save has already been written by the newer version, so we effectively lost the ability to continue that world together.

Request: please release a Switch 2 update to 2.0.73 (or newer) as soon as possible to restore cross-platform save compatibility.

Thanks!

The switch version is only updated every few months, nintendos verification process alone can already take several weeks. Generally if you want to play cross platform the non console players can either subscribe to the "Console" beta in steam or keep an installation that follows the console version manually.
You can try if an older save on the server has not been updated to .73 to keep playing or wait for the next console version update but that might be a long time out.
