At least now they're with an owner that might actually put some of their games on Switch.

What makes you think Embracer is going to embrace Switch more than SE, a studio that has made Switch exclusive games?

Square's Switch stuff has all been from their Japan studios which they still have.

None of their Western stuff has come to Switch despite many of them being perfectly viable to port, so Embracer can't do any worse than Square.

Embracer seems to support the Switch fairly well; since they purchased Saber Interactive in February of 2020 the company has undertaken multiple Switch projects such as World War Z, the Crysis Remaster trilogy, Snowrunner, plus Kingdom Come Deliverance on the way.

They've also brought many of their THQ Nordic games to Switch like Darksiders 1-3, Destroy All Humans, next month Wreckfest, etc.
