Dispatch Restores Censored Content on Switch 2 With New Update
AdHoc Studio said the free update removes black boxes and adds censorship options to PlayStation 5 and Steam versions.
- Developer AdHoc Studio released a free update for Dispatch on Nintendo Switch today, removing black box censorship that previously obscured "breasts, butt, and birds."
- Following an apology for lack of transparency, AdHoc released the "HR Violations Pack" after Switch players discovered the version was materially different from other platforms earlier this year.
- Players can now choose pixelated effects or "strategically placed jorts" for censorship, though AdHoc stated that "hard requirements from Nintendo" still prohibit displaying genitalia or Invisigal's audio.
- Available today in North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, the update does not apply to Japan, where local regulations require strict, unaltered censorship.
- AdHoc is extending these censorship customization options to PlayStation and Steam versions, allowing users across all platforms to adjust the game's NSFW settings to their personal preference.
