Console versions launched on September 17 for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch.

It is priced at 5,500 yen including tax, and IzanagiGames is raising the two-week launch discount from 10 percent to 20 percent, adding 200 buddy character stills to the gallery, and offering dot-art wallpapers for PC and smartphones. Those additions are also planned for the console versions later. A demo is available on each platform.
Separately, IzanagiGames and Good Smile Company released Dark Auction Nintendo Switch 2 Edition on June 11, 2026. The package version costs 6,040 yen, and the download version costs 5,050 yen. Owners of the original Nintendo Switch version can upgrade for 100 yen via an Upgrade Pass. The Switch 2 Edition offers improved resolution, higher frame rate, and faster loading times. The game features an original story and scenario by Rika Suzuki, character design by Kohsuke, and music by Yuko Komiyama and Tsukasa Masuko. It is set in 1981 Europe, where protagonist Noah, voiced by Kengo Kawanishi, searches for his missing father Leonardo, voiced by Rikiya Koyama.
