The Switch 2 port brings the series' signature mix of city building, politics, and economics to a handheld-optimised version. Players can use the console's unique features for precise island construction and management. The game also introduces a revamped Council where faction leaders can be negotiated with or ignored, and a Terraforming feature that allows players to raise land, redirect rivers, and create new islands.

The Special Edition on Switch 2 includes more than 20 sandbox maps and a random map generator. Players can customise the appearance of El Presidente and their palace with new creative options. The game also features a reworked military system for direct control of military units and a vast portfolio of edicts depending on political standing.
