Overwatch Producer Discusses Possible Switch Port

Overwatch Producer Discusses Possible Switch Port

Matthew Hawley, producer of Overwatch, the popular shooter from Blizzard Entertainment, talked in an interview about the possibility of Overwatch coming to the Nintendo Switch. This is specially important for Switch owners, as Overwatch is one of the biggest and most successful shooters in the gaming industry, as it recently celebrated its 40 million players achievement as well as its second anniversary, this only demonstrates that Blizzard Entertainment is doing a fine job maintaining the successful status of the game.

Matthew Hawley, addressed the question about the Switch version of the game, by giving the answer of “no, but never say never.” Here’s what he said:

“I think it is one of those things that we constantly evaluate. Where technology is going; where the industry is going. There are challenges in running on the platforms that we’re not already on, otherwise we would probably already be on some of those other platforms. We’ll see where things go. Certainly, there is a huge number of people out there who have Nintendo Switch and mobile phones, but right now, the core development team is focused on supporting the live game.”

Apparently, the Overwatch team seems to be focused more on supporting the current versions of the game, rather than porting the game to other platforms at the moment. Considering the Nintendo’s admittedly half-rate infrastructure, it seems like the multiplayer-only game would not fit properly on the platform, but maybe with the launch of the Nintendo Switch Online Service it might bring improvements to the console and increase the possibility of Overwatch appearing on Nintendo Switch.
