The Nintendo Switch version of Factorio was released on October 28, 2022. It is mostly identical to the PC version, the only large differences are the controls and the missing mod support.
Save files are compatible between platforms. Cross-platform multiplayer is possible as long as the game versions match. When using Steam on PC, the "console" beta branch can be selected to make the versions match.
