| Zekkyou said: I don't think there's much debate that OW could be made to run on the Switch, even a PS3/360 port should be possible. The issue is whether Blizzard are a) willing to maintain a 4th platform (one technically independent from the others), and b) if they're fine with people potentially playing it on the go over 3G and 4G. If they're fine with both of those, then we'll probably see a port eventually. |
I don't remember where, but I think Jeff has stated his reason for not bringing Overwatch to the Switch.
I think he said something along the lines of maintaining each version of the game since they all kind of exist in their own ecosystems. They have to work with PSN and XBL separately with their patches and maintenances and they aren't ready to add another one to their agendas because they're already busy with what they have. (Meaning issue a is a factor in why they have no plans right now)
I think they might bring the game over to the Switch if A) Nintendo's online is received at least decently (and hopefully has voice chat capabilities as it is a big part of the game) and B) The platform has a large enough userbase to jusitfy the costs.
