Where the 2022 game runs
PC on Steam and Epic, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series. The Switch copy is The Complete Edition from 12 September 2023, and it folds in both paid packs plus the tournament. Nintendo’s phrase is “over 20 rooms.” A phone page exists without a download button, so I am not calling a mobile edition released. Steam lists cross-platform multiplayer on this game. The sequel’s page does not repeat that tag.
Questions
Is this the same game as Back 2 School?
No. This is the 2022 game. Back 2 School is the 2026 sequel.
What is the Complete Edition?
The Switch release that bundles the base game, both story packs and the free tournament.
