I convinced a friend to try out the demo version on his switch.
Is crossplay between the Full release on PC and switch demo possible?
Is there a known release for the 2.0 demo (Factorio website says it's still on 1.1.10)?
If there isn't going to be one in the near future I'm just gonna download a 1.1 version from the Factorio website.
Thanks

Factorio Space Age is not coming to Nintendo Switch.
Space Age factories are much bigger compared to vanilla, as they span 5 planets. There's simply not enough RAM to fit them and not enough CPU power to run all of it at 60 UPS. Not to mention all the new sprites that were added that will not fit in VRAM.Factorio 2.0 is coming to Nintendo Switch.
I am currently working on bringing the 2.0 free update to Switch and making sure it's optimized well enough. Since the release process on consoles takes a long time, I prefer to not to give you a conservative release date, and instead just release it as soon as possible, when it's ready. My estimate is that the update will come to Nintendo Switch in 1-2 months.Meanwhile I recommend you finish your current playthrough if you are almost finishing your save game, as the 2.0 update comes with some updates to rails, fluids, recipes and technologies that might break parts of your base and on Switch you will not be able to downgrade once you update.
and yes, crossplay between switch and PC versions is possible as long as you're on the same factorio version number

Good to know.
I just wasn't sure if the crossplay extends to the demo version of the game.
So just boot up one of the available tutorial missions and he should be able to join
Thanks
