Forums - Sales Discussion - Does Payday 2 even have a chance on the Switch?

A game from 2013, being released on everything else already, with a theme somehow unfitting to your typical Nintendo console. What could Starbreeze have in mind with this? I honestly see it not doing very well, unfortunately.

On the other hand, I appreciate their balls they clearly must have to release this. Also, variety is king and an online co-op shooter fills a still existing gap in the library.

I have no interest in it, but I have never had any interest in it on any platform though...

The problem is Payday as I understand is a game that is meant to be played with friends in large groups. It's fun online, but it's fantastic in LAN parties. I think what Starbreeze sees is the potential of tons of players in one room playing the game together. Weather it's in handheld mode or connected to TV's or Monitors. Which is probably their mindset as I have heard they have most of their success on PC. Though I could be wrong as I am not very familiar with the developer or their games so this is pure speculation on my part.

That makes sense, thank you!



I could buy it at a reduced price (say 20 to 40 €), I recall having a conversation with a friend of mine about 4 years ago and asking him what game I should buy owning just a 3DS and a PC, he suggested me either Mario Kart 7 or Payday 2, I don't know why he picked this two specifically but it stuck in my mind because of how specific that choice was...



It doesn't, and once it fails it will be used as a prove that third parties does bad on Nintendo consoles, Nintendo fans don't like non-cartoonish games, and all kinds of similar shit.



i think it will sell 50k-100k retail copies LT

Yeah, that's what I think, too.

Sounds realistic in my eyes.
