Delisting
The Turing Test was delisted from the Nintendo Switch eShop on March 01st, 2023, according to pricing data from Deku Deals. On April 24th the community manager at Bulkhead, Lossy, wrote this response on the game’s delisting:
Okay…so because of some intricate technical mumbo jumbo, The Turing Test isn’t currently available on the Switch platform. I’m afraid I don’t have a timeframe for when this will be resolved either. I’m very sorry for the inconvenience Sean! I wish I had better news for you.
Twitter post – April 24, 2023
Publishing duties for The Turing Test were transferred from Square Enix Collective to Bulkhead by July of 2023, indicating the end of their publishing deal. As of April 2024, the game has yet to return to sale on Nintendo Switch.
