Destroy All Humans Switch Port Confirmed

The remake of alien action-adventure game Destroy All Humans will soon be available for the Nintendo Switch, with a release date set for this summer.

From publisher THQ Nordic and its subsidiary development studio Black Forest Games, Destroy All Humans is a remake of the successful 2005 title. This sci-fi title tasks players with destroying all humans in their paths as the alien clone Crypto-137 ravages the Earth. It's set in the 1950s when fear of UFOs and flying saucers began spreading, but pokes fun at the expected corny humor of that decade.

As a remake, the gameplay in Destroy All Humans is largely the same as in the original, but with sleek new graphics. Players can engage in combat with the military on foot, featuring classic science fiction weaponry like a Disintegrator Ray and a Plasma Blaster, or players can scour for enemies in a spaceship and obliterate entire buildings and cities.

The Switch port of Destroy All Humans is due out on June 29 and includes the Skin Pack DLC, which appears as a $10 add-on for all other platforms on digital storefronts. Players will get to take on the world as Crypto and all of its cheesy alien glory for $39.99, with all previously released Destroy All Humans skins included in the base game price.

In addition to the standard version, there are also two special editions of Destroy All Humans on the way as well. The DNA Collector's Edition includes the base game, a Crypto 'N' Cow figurine, a keychain, six lithographic, and an anti-stress toy. The Crypto-137 Edition of Destroy All Humans features all the same items plus a backpack.

Xbox Game Pass has been getting a lot of new additions lately, from nearly every Bethesda Studios game to getting Outriders on day one. Now, from a new store listing, it looks like the recent remake of Destroy All Humans! could be coming to Xbox Game Pass.

The Destroy All Humans! remake was released last July for Playstation 4 and Xbox One. Despite releasing to middling critical reception, the title reportedly exceeded publisher THQ Nordic's sales expectations. The remake kept all of the game's original humor and writing, a favorite aspect of fans, intact, and touched up the audio and visuals to be a smoother and more modern experience. Destroy All Humans! also included a mission that was cut from the game's original release, titled "Lost Mission of Area 52."

Now, on the heels of a possible tease of a Destroy All Humans 2 remaster, a listing on the Microsoft Store has revealed that the original remaster is coming to PC. Brought to light by user WalkingCat on Twitter, who is well known for frequent and accurate Microsoft Store leaks, the listing is still up as of this writing despite saying that the game is not currently available. The listing does, however, list the release date as May 27.

While no mention of Xbox Game Pass on console or PC is mentioned in the Microsoft Store listing of the game, these sorts of leaks have indicated incoming Xbox Game Pass for PC game additions before. In support of this leak, the popular Xbox achievement tracking site TrueAchievements also picked up the achievement list for the game on PC recently, and others have noticed that the game was briefly listed under "Xbox Game Pass Deals" in the Xbox Dashboard Store back in February.
