Milestone’s arcade racing game Screamer has received a PEGI rating for Nintendo Switch 2 in the UK, providing further evidence that a version for Nintendo’s latest console may be on the way. The listing follows an earlier classification for the Switch 2 version in Germany, although neither Milestone nor Nintendo has officially announced the port.
The PEGI database identifies Milestone S.r.l. as the publisher and lists November 11, 2026, in its release date field. However, that date has not been confirmed as an actual launch date, and the developer has yet to provide any details about the potential Switch 2 release.
The classification assigns Screamer a PEGI 16 rating due to strong violence and strong language. PEGI describes the title as a driving game featuring visual novel elements, with several interconnected storylines set in a futuristic city inspired by Neo Tokyo.
According to the ratings description, the story revolves around a large-scale illegal racing tournament. While the game primarily focuses on driving, it also contains scenes of realistic violence involving human characters, particularly during animated cutscenes.
One sequence depicts a character being impaled from behind by another character’s hand, with blood spraying and collecting on the floor. Another shows a character crushed beneath falling debris, leaving a blood-covered arm visible underneath a piece of metal.
Screamer originally launched on March 26, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Developed by Milestone, it reimagines the studio’s 1990s PC arcade racing series with a cyberpunk anime aesthetic and a stronger emphasis on storytelling.
The game takes place in Neo Rey, a futuristic city featuring 32 racing tracks and five rival factions. Its racing mechanics combine high-speed driving with combat abilities through the ECHO system, allowing players to use boosts, offensive strikes, and defensive shields during races.
Its cel-shaded visual style was co-designed with Japanese animation studio Polygon Pictures, while the story-driven campaign features voice performances from actors including Troy Baker.
