Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition has officially landed on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, thanks to a surprise shadow drop from Aspyr and Crystal Dynamics. Fans who’ve been waiting to revisit Lara Croft’s 2013 reboot on Nintendo’s consoles can finally dive in, and the timing couldn’t be better with the holiday season approaching.
