Goodnight Universe Gets Nintendo Switch 2 Camera Support!
Skybound Games™ and Nice Dream™ are excited to share that the award-winning narrative game Goodnight Universe can now be played in “camera as controller” mode on the Nintendo Switch 2. In addition to Switch 2 camera functionality, the game’s latest update also includes several adjustments boosting overall visual fidelity.
To optimize gameplay for the Switch 2 camera, position the camera in a well-lit space 18-24 inches in front of you, ensuring your face is fully visible. Select “Webcam Display” during calibration to check both lighting and framing. When setup correctly, the test circle will turn white when blinking and smiling/frowning will be recognized in the test screens.
From the BAFTA-award winning developers of Before Your Eyes, Goodnight Universe tells the story of Isaac, a 6-month-old baby, developing mysterious psychic powers. What you want most is to be loved and accepted by your family, but a secretive tech corporation wants you for their own. The immersive “camera as controller” mode gives players the option to interact using their eyes and expressions, expanding on the innovative use of camera-based technology that the development team is known for.
Goodnight Universe was released in 2025 to great critical reception winning “Best International Game” at SXSW Sydney 2025 and the Tribeca Games Award in 2024.
The game’s leading cast includes Lewis Pullman (Thunderbolts*, Top Gun Maverick) as the main character Isaac, and Kerri Kenney-Silver (Reno 911, The Four Seasons), Al Madrigal (The Daily Show, Lopez vs. Lopez), and Tessa Espinola (S.W.A.T, The Big Show Show) as Isaac’s family. Beau Bridges (Matlock, Homeland), Timothy Simons (VEEP, Nobody Wants This) and Sarah Burns (Barry, Unfrosted) are cast in supporting character voice roles.
Physical editions for both Nintendo Switch 2 and PlayStation 5 are available now, and include the base game, alongside digital codes for the game soundtrack and an artbook featuring original art from the Nice Dream team.
