The mouse is out of the bag — Disney Illusion Island will no longer be a Switch exclusive; but the game is getting a free update on the same day it lands on other consoles, 30th May 2025.
And that free update brings everyone's favourite money making uncle Scrooge McDuck to the game (thanks, Gematsu). We don't know much about the aptly-named C.A.S.H. update yet, but according to the trailer shared by retailer GameStop, you'll be going on a "cave adventuring scavenger hunt".
If you haven't tried Disney Illusion Island, it's a 2D side-scrolling platformer with lovely hand drawn visuals. You can play as Mickey, Minnie, Donald, or Goofy, and either play alone or with up to three friends.
It's a little bit like a Metroidvania with abilities and collectibles to pick up, but with an adorable Disney twist. We were huge fans of it back in 2023, and Scrooge McDuck will have us coming back for more. Woo-oo~
Have you played Disney Illusion Island? Will you be trying out C.A.S.H. on 30th May? Let us know down below.

It has been confirmed that the PlayStation and Microsoft ports revealed in that trailer will have all DLC on the disk. We are currently witnessing a time where, in a very specific scenario and time frame, Disney is more pro-consumer than Nintendo
Nice to see this game get yet another free update and even more so since it will include Scrooge McDuck - one more reason for me to get back to playing it (I started it together with my sister and her boyfriend, but I doubt we'll ever continue it that way so I should just play it on my own when I can)!
This was actually a fine game. Played through with my little guy last year.
Kind of amazing that 2 years later it is getting updates of this magnitude.
I enjoyed playing through the game with the kids, definitely interested in trying out Scrooge's CASH grab.
Well, curse me kilts and bless me bagpipes.
This was a really nice little game. Will definitely play the DLC. Glad I hung on to my copy
Crazy enough I started to play this game this day! I didn't even know there was free dlc (and there's coming even more) so that's nice to hear.
@squidduforeal I've not heard anything sbout a Super Switch issue. Wario just saysPS5 and XSXS (Tricky) have it all on disc
@Zeebor15
This game came out years ago on Switch. You’re saying they should rerelease it to put everything on the cart?
@Zeebor15 All the DLC on Switch was free. This just means it's already on the ports, no extra downloads or updates needed.
This game has always had my interest. Now, it has my attention.
If only there was an entire game where you pogo around as Uncle Scrooge. 😉😝😢
I look forward to the DLC. 😊
This game is aimed at very young audiences indeed. Playing it on my own was very boring to say the least.
@rallydefault Yes. Yes i am
More like Scrooge Mc-tendo! The Switch just got it's own CASH update!
This is a pleasant surprise. I played this game a few months ago and it was a very enjoyable relaxed metroidvania. Looking forward to this update.
It probably should have been Daisy. But also, it should absolutely be Scrooge. Woo-oo!
Physical Switch copies are readily available where I am, maybe I can finally give in and get one, unless they do a re-release with the DLC on the cart.
This game is super cute and a lot of fun if you have young kids, and I will definitely come back to play as Mister Scrooge. Now just give me Darkwing Duck!
@Zeebor15
That’s not reasonable.
I still need to finish the previous update, so I'll get to that in time for Unca Scrooge.
@rallydefault "Game of the Year" version. We used to get them all the time. Back when we were a stable society
@Zeebor15
True. But nowadays most games have so many patches and DLCs… it would be extremely impractical.
This game has already had at least one major free DLC prior to this one, which is what makes me think you’re just here to stir the pot, not out of any love or knowledge for this game.
And meanwhile, Daisy Duck is nowhere to be seen.
@rallydefault I'm saying it's best to get it on PS5 if once hasn't gotten it on Switch.
@Zeebor15
lol ok
@rallydefault Hey man, PS5's are on fire sale right now. I got a brand new one with Astro Bot for less than a Switch OLED
@Zeebor15
That’s great. It would be a waste of money for me. Not much I wanna play on PS5. Would rather put it towards Switch 2 with games that interest me.
@Notsoavid From the video, it looks like you still play as the main four. Uncle Scrooge probably gives you missions.
@rallydefault I think it's best if we just put each other on ignore cause I'm pretty sure we're just going to always disagree with each other.
@Zeebor15
You got owned is what happened lol
