Aliens: Fireteam Elite Nintendo Switch Cloud Version Shut Down

The Nintendo Switch version of Aliens: Fireteam Elite has officially shut down, making the cloud-streaming edition permanently unplayable for anyone who purchased it. The closure went into effect on August 5th.

Quick Facts

Platform: Nintendo Switch (Cloud-Streaming Edition)
Status: Permanently shut down and unplayable as of August 5th
Launch Pricing: Cost $29.99 for the standard edition and $59.99 for the Ultimate Edition

Because the Nintendo Switch hardware was unable to run Aliens: Fireteam Elite natively, the cloud-streaming compromise was utilized at launch. With the shutdown finalized, owners of the digital cloud version no longer have access to the game.
