Dispatch patches Switch censorship with a cheeky 'HR Violations' update and a chaos-donut option

AdHoc's Dispatch patch for Switch adds an 'HR Violations Pack' that lets players decide how to censor risqué content, including playful chaos options where offensive visuals can be replaced by items like a denim hot pants or an oozing jam donut; uncensored remains the default on Steam and PS5, with Xbox versions adopting the same options as the patch rolls out this summer. The update follows ongoing censorship debates with Nintendo and Dispatch's strong sales.

AdHoc to Work With Nintendo on Restoring Censored Dispatch Content on Switch

AdHoc Studio says it’s already collaborating with Nintendo to address the censored content in Dispatch’s Switch version, with a future update expected in weeks rather than days and no firm promises yet. The studio also acknowledged a misstep in store-page labeling that obscured the censorship and has since corrected it, while noting that the changes aim to meet Nintendo’s content guidelines.

Dispatch Censored by Default on Switch, Open Question of a Non-Censored Version

AdHoc Studio confirms Dispatch is censored by default on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 due to platform content rules, with nudity and explicit audio blocked; PS5 and Windows versions offer a censorship toggle. Nintendo says it does not edit partner content, while the existence of a censored versus potentially non-censored version suggests ratings-board decisions (e.g., CERO) may drive the Switch port, and the non-censored variant may not be available on Switch.

Dispatch censored on Switch and Switch 2, prompting debate over Nintendo's content rules

Dispatch is censored on Switch and Switch 2 by default with no option to disable the censorship. AdHoc Studio says the content meets Nintendo’s release criteria, but the move has sparked debate over platform standards and regional ratings, notably Japan’s CERO, which could be driving the global edits. Some propose separate regional versions as a workaround, though that would be costly for a small studio; VGC has reached out to AdHoc for comment.

Dispatch censored on Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch: no visual censorship toggle

Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch versions of Dispatch ship with censorship by default—no Visual Censorship toggle like the PC and PS5 builds—nudity and other sensitive content are obscured, while the main narrative and gameplay remain unchanged. AdHoc Studio says Nintendo helped ensure the content met platform guidelines, suggesting stricter Nintendo policies, though details remain unclear.
