Then the solution is to not let children have easy access to smart phones or internet until they are older, not mass surveillance. Only this would require parents to do actual parenting, most likely, as with any good solution to the problem. -

Minecraft is getting a Switch 2 native version with the Vibrant Visuals graphics upgrade by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft's block-based sensation Minecraft is available on an astounding number of platforms, including PC, consoles, and mobile devices. Today, during the Nintendo Direct livestream, another version was announced, this one aimed at the Nintendo Switch 2 console. This native edition will use the new hardware's horsepower to finally bring the Vibrant Visuals graphics upgrade to players on the platform. While Nintendo Switch 2 players have been able to jump into Minecraft since the console's launch, this has only been via the backward-compatible original Switch version. With this new upgrade, players will be able to fully utilize the new hardware to run the game better and with new features. For those unfamiliar with it, the Vibrant Visuals upgrade landed earlier this year on PC (Bedrock), Xbox, PlayStation, and mobile platforms with the Chase the Skies update. This brought volumetric lighting, directional lighting, volumetric fog, and other elements to the sandbox title, letting players see aspects like sun rays, dynamic shadows, reflections in water, and shine on metallic blocks. "Survive the night or create a work of art in the iconic sandbox game," says Nintendo. "Build anything you can imagine, uncover mysteries, and face foes in an infinite world that’s unique in every playthrough." The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Minecraft seems to be a paid upgrade, as Nintendo says anyone who purchases this version will be able to carry over their save data from the original Switch version. Pricing details were not announced today, however. Meanwhile, the Nintendo exclusive Super Mario Mash-Up Pack will be available to all buyers of this version too, giving them a custom Mario-themed world as well as skins and tracks inspired by the series. The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Minecraft will be releasing sometime in 2026. -
