Palworld might not come to Switch for 'technical reasons' says Palworld boss

TL;DR


• Palworld, the upcoming survival game featuring a mix of Pokémon-like creatures and firearms, may not be coming to the Nintendo Switch due to technical reasons. The game's director, Takuro Mizobe, stated that the team is still trying to get the game running on the Switch, but the hardware limitations of the console are proving to be a challenge.

• Mizobe explained that the game's open-world design and the number of Pal creatures (the game's version of Pokémon-like creatures) that can be displayed on-screen simultaneously are posing difficulties for the Switch's hardware. The team is working to optimize the game's performance, but they are unsure if they will be able to achieve the desired results on Nintendo's hybrid console.

• Despite the potential exclusion from the Switch, the game is still planned for release on other platforms, including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. The team is focused on delivering the best possible experience for players, and they will make the final decision on the Switch version based on their ability to overcome the technical hurdles.
