Das bereits im Dezember 2019 für PC erschienene Darksiders Genesis erhielt im Februar 2020 seinen heiß erwarteten Release für Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 und Xbox One. Dass die Switch-Version technisch nicht auf dem gleichen Stand wie seine Mitstreiter ist, schmälert das Kooperative-Erlebnis mit Freunden im selben Raum auf verschiedenen Switch-Geräten unkompliziert gemeinsam in die Schlacht zu ziehen keines Wegs. Ein mit 147 MB vergleichsweise kleines Update bringt nun dennoch eine Vielzahl von Verbesserungen für die Konsolen-Versionen des Spiels.
Das Update verbessert unter anderem die Karte und das HUB. Die einzelnen Verbesserungen können den folgenden originalen Patchnotes entnommen werden:
