What's Included
The Complete Edition includes "every dinosaur, feature, and downloadable content released for Jurassic World Evolution 2 since launch." That is a substantial bundle. The package covers the two major Dominion expansions - Dominion Malta and Dominion Biosyn - along with creature packs such as Secret Species and Early Cretaceous. The Dominion Biosyn Expansion ties into 2022's Jurassic World Dominion, though content from the more recent film Jurassic World Rebirth is not included.
The Biosyn Expansion features dialogue from Sam Neill as Dr. Alan Grant, alongside voicework from Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum.

Gameplay Modes
Jurassic World Evolution 2 is a dinosaur park management sim that takes players beyond the Muertes Islands for the first time. Campaign mode follows the events of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, with returning characters including Claire Dearing and Dr. Ian Malcolm, voiced by Jeff Goldblum. Players can also alter the course of events in Chaos Theory mode or build freely in an open-ended Sandbox mode. With more than 75 species to bring to life - including flying and marine creatures - there is a wide range of prehistoric life to manage across diverse environments.
Nintendo History and Context
This will be the game's debut on a Nintendo console. The original Jurassic World Evolution: Complete Edition launched on Switch back in 2020, so Nintendo fans have had to wait considerably longer for the sequel. The base game first released for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC in November 2021.
Frontier Developments has already released Jurassic World Evolution 3 on other platforms, though no Switch 2 version of that title has been announced. Jurassic World Evolution 3 continues to receive updates, including a Rebirth Expansion.
Pricing and Limitations
The Switch 2 version will be available for £49.99 / $59.99 / €59.99 via the Nintendo eShop, with no plans for a physical edition. Frontier also confirmed two notable limitations: the game will not receive a physical release and will not support Joy-Con 2 Mouse Mode - a surprising omission given how naturally the cursor-based management genre suits pointer controls.
For deal-hunters on PC, the base game and its individual DLC packs have a long history of deep discounts on digital storefronts. The Switch 2 Complete Edition bundles everything at a single premium price, which makes it the more straightforward option for Nintendo players coming to the series fresh.
