The Outer Worlds coming to the Nintendo Switch (UP: Launching in Q1 2020)
- Thread starter jakoo
- Start date
I am thinking of doing the same thing, I have the game preloaded on my PC already and I might get it pre-loaded on my Xbox as well.
NMS was published by Sony on PS4. Just like SLT was published by MS on Xbox. Their subsequent ports to Xbox and Switch had nothing to do with Sony or MS.
Halo has been the consensus right now. We don't know which game though. The MCC seems way too big.
Man, cross saves for this game would be perfect and I think it would be a great way to convince people to double-dip so they can just continue their progress whenever they leave the house (I guess xcloud existing soon might make it less relevant though? I haven't thought of it much yet...).
ehh... When they announced it, didn't they say they've already been working on it for a couple years? I mean, isn't that already more time than they got with New Vegas and KotOR 2?
Apparently it was only the physical release, which explains why I didn't find anything. Thanks.
I've been wondering this for a while lol. For a while it had a tentative release date of March 2019 I believe, then it just got pushed again.
This comment is gonna be so confusing to people who don't keep up with the rumor thread lol
No telling but all of those had switch ports in progress or are IP's that MS doesn't own. MS just didn't try to stop them
Not necessarily the way I'd want to play this but Virtuos has also done some good work on Switch. Dark Souls was a bit shoddy but Starlink and FFXII were pretty good.
doesn't help that both became EGS exclusives and there were threads about them, they got blurred together with each other for me.
A little bit off topic, but just FYI, I've been told Pillars 1 on Switch does not support touchscreen. I'm not sure if this is because Versus Evil is just porting the work Paradox already did for the PS4/XBO version of Pillars 1, or what.
I don't know about Pillars 2, but they've been silent on that front for a good while outside of a tweet here or there saying it's coming. Since the Switch version is being developed concurrently with the PS4/XBO version there, maybe it's more likely.
I think there's no doubt it would be possible on a tech level, but it's up to Bethesda otherwise...
Thanks, Phil! Virtuos is the port house behind the excellent Switch version of Starlink, so I have faith that this won't be a bad port. I was planning on waiting a year anyway because of the whole EGS thing, so might as well wait to see how the Switch port turns out.
Yeah true dat. I thought those Bethesda games had trouble on ps3 in the past? Something about save files getting too large and corrupted once you've moved too much shit around the world. I don't rmb the exact situation.
I wonder if they will go as far as to let Obsidian's future games release on Nintendo systems too. Probably not, but they kinda have a partnership thing going on.
What's to be confused though? It means Mario is coming to PlayStation 😝
That's really cool, I had no interest in this game until this announcement. Wonder if Bethesda has given any thought to porting the Fallout games. I'd love to finally finish Fallout 3 during my commute!
Yes I thought hell had literally frozen over when I read this
Yeah, they did, but also Skyrim is on Switch and I'm pretty sure it had some of the same problems on other consoles.
Hell yes. That saves me getting it on PC. Yes please. More meaty story/rpgs/etc on the Switch for me to lose tons of hours in.
WTF!!!!
So we can't get something like Fallout New Vegas on the Switch, but we can get the next best thing. WOW.
WOW WOW WOWOWOW

Gamers: We want Fallout New Vegas on Switch!
Nintendo: We have Fallout New Vegas at home
Release date for the other versions is October 25th, so since it isn't day and date, a 2019 date is not very likely.
Someone earlier in the thread claimed Nintendo's website listed a 2019 launch. I haven't found that listing yet on the NA site to verify but it might be on another one.
It's listed on the nintendo UK as 2019

No way I'm playing Outer Worlds on the Switch. I already assume an Obsidian RPG will run poorly on PC, much less. It's good to hear it announced though simply so Obsidian can try to get a foothold of more potential customers on a different platform. It will also be the closest thing to Fallout on the Switch (and everywhere else recently) as well!
This is a PC game as far I'm concerned and that's where I'll play it first.
That said, I could definitely see myself double dipping on Switch if the performance is good.

UE4 is much easier to port to the Switch. There's a ton of UE4 games on Switch already.
