====Later development and new features==== Double Fine demonstrated an in-progress version of the remastered game at [[IndieCade]] event in October 2014; new features included higher-resolution textures and improved resolution for the character models as well as having real-time lighting models, and the ability to switch back and forth between this presentation and the original graphics at the touch of a control. The remastered game runs in 4:3 aspect ratio but has an option to stretch this to a 16:9 ratio rather than render in a native 4:3 ratio. The remaster includes improvements to the control scheme developed by Pfaff's patch and other alternate control schemes in addition to the original tank like controls, including analogue controls for console versions and point-and-click controls for computer versions. The game's soundtrack was fully orchestrated through performances of the [[Melbourne Symphony Orchestra]] (who also performed the soundtrack for Double Fine's ''[[Broken Age]]''). The remastered version also includes developer commentary, which can be activated via the options menu and listened to at various points in the game. The PlayStation version also features cloud saving between the PS4 and Vita versions.<ref name="McWhertor 2014">{{cite web |url=http://www.polygon.com/2014/10/10/6960243/grim-fandango-remastered-ps4-pc |title=Grim Fandango returns with updated graphics, orchestral score and fan-made controls |first=Michael |last=McWhertor |date=October 10, 2014 |access-date=October 10, 2014 |website=[[Polygon (website)|Polygon]] |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141011200000/http://www.polygon.com/2014/10/10/6960243/grim-fandango-remastered-ps4-pc |archive-date=October 11, 2014}}</ref> A [[Nintendo Switch]] port<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.usgamer.net/articles/double-fines-grim-fandango-and-broken-age-head-to-nintendo-switch |title=Double Fine's Grim Fandango and Broken Age Head to Nintendo Switch |first=Jake |last=Green |date=June 13, 2018 |access-date=June 13, 2018 |work=[[USGamer]] |archive-date=November 24, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201124122916/https://www.usgamer.net/articles/double-fines-grim-fandango-and-broken-age-head-to-nintendo-switch |url-status=dead }}</ref> was released on November 1, 2018.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.destructoid.com/surprise-grim-fandango-remastered-launches-today-on-switch-529283.phtml |title=Surprise!
