Rugby League Raw: the Strategy Patch is live

Sydney, Australia — 30 March 2026

The Strategy Patch for Rugby League Raw is live now on Nintendo Switch — a free update built around one idea: give you more control over how every set unfolds. This isn’t the average bug-fix patch. It changes how the sets run.

What the patch changes

• Greater control. More say over your attack on every tackle — where the ball goes, who runs it, and when to pull the trigger.
• Real strategy. The set is now a plan, not a scramble. Build through the early tackles, shift the point of attack, and make the last play count.
• More intuitive attacking play. Options are clearer in the moment, so the pass you meant to throw is the pass that gets thrown.

Why we built it

Since launch in December 2025, the loudest piece of feedback from players has been consistent: the hits felt great, and you wanted more brains to go with the brawn. The Strategy Patch is our answer — the same raw, physical rugby league, now with a genuine tactical layer on top.

How to get it

It’s free, and it’s automatic. If your Switch is online, Rugby League Raw updates itself the next time you play. New to the game? Every copy sold from today ships with the Strategy Patch built in.
