Meccha Chameleon, the popular indie hide-and-seek game, is now available on the Nintendo Switch today, as announced during a recent Nintendo Direct presentation. This launch follows a period of significant success on PC, where the game has sold over 20 million copies on Steam since its release a few months ago.
The game, which involves players painting themselves to blend into their surroundings as a form of elaborate prop hunt, has become a viral hit and a favorite among streamers and social co-op game enthusiasts. Its simple yet creative premise has contributed to its widespread appeal.
Meccha Chameleon joins a growing category of social co-op titles that have found success, including games like Lethal Company and Among Us. The game is known for its accessible price point, costing £5.29 on Steam, with expectations that the Nintendo Switch version will be similarly priced.
While the game has enjoyed a largely positive reception, an issue with malware found in some user-created maps on Steam was addressed and resolved by the developers. The arrival on the Nintendo Switch is expected to further bolster the game's impressive momentum.
