Bank heist game Payday 2 is coming to the Switch tomorrow, but as confirmed to Polygon in a recent interview, Starbreeze has revealed that the Switch version is running a converted PC build from last summer called "Most Wanted", meaning it's a version eight months older than the one on PC.

"The reasoning for the Switch content: we're making continuous updates to a game that's turning five years old this year, and to get the game out in early 2018 on Switch meant that our team had to go with the content ported and available at the time of console submission," the developer said. "The PS4 and Xbox One versions are now almost up to par with PC content, and Switch is close behind those versions. There are future content updates planned for Switch, as well."
