Hogwarts is not only a big game in itself, but it's also effectively a PS5/Xbox Series game, with even the PS4 and Xbox One versions being substantially downgraded ports that don't fit comfortably on the hardware.

Porting PS4 games to Switch is already a challenging undertaking; porting something that's built for PS5 is a gargantuan undertaking, basically equivalent to porting a PS4 title to Vita or a PS3 game to PSP. The fact that Hogwarts is playable at all is a testament to Shiver's abilities, it must have been a hellish task.

Yeah, massive props to them for making Switch port, though some things took quite a big hit (especially water). I still find Witcher 3 port to be better looking in many aspects than Hogwarts on Switch.
