The PS4, PS3 and PS Vita release of The Swapper has been delayed by six weeks, Curve Digital has announced. The game will now hit North American on August 5 and Europe on August 6. It was originally meant to release next Tuesday, June 24.

Curve states that the reason for the delay is to “polish the Vita and PS3 versions of the game, which have required extra optimisation”.

“The Swapper is our first indie title to really push the limits of the PlayStation 3 and Vita,” said Curve Digital managing director Jason Perkins. “We’ve been able to really throw the power of the PS4 at the game, but we also want to ensure that when the game comes out, it looks great and runs well at 30 FPS on hardware that, in the case of the PlayStation 3, is over seven years old.”

The Swapper first launched on PC last year and sees players using a cloning device to solve puzzles and escape a destroyed space station.
