Considering how well Outlaw looks and plays I wonder if they'll put the same effort here.

Drama  Thread 'Seems like most third-party developers will not support Switch 2'

Jun 7, 2025

After State of Play and Summer Game Fest, I can't barely remember how many third-party games get announced for Switch 2. For everyone expecting a strong support for it, I think these are bad news.

Looks like Switch 2 third party situation will be just fine.

different engine sadly. AC Shadows uses Anvil Next, while StarWars Outlaws is using Snowdrop.

this will probably just use the performance mode of the other consoles, while running at a dynamic 720p internally (or static 540p) at 30fps.

but who know? maybe they are able to squeeze RT GI in there... I doubt it tho.

 

[Baemono]

I dunno if I'll double dip for this one, depends on the price

The switch 2 is at its best with modern games where its features can shine. I'm expecting a surprisingly good port.

Shadows is extremely dense too. Lots of foliage and NPCs so I'm really curious how well they can get this to run. I don't think I'll double dip for this though, I played it on PC with maxed out settings just because of how amazing it looks.

You mean the ADHD generation of "I want it now!" over reacted early? I'm shocked.

 

[Skifi28]

The game is rather demanding when compared to Outlaws so I would expect no RT here, but it'll be interesting to see the port regardless.

 

[Nephryte]

30 fps incoming.

 

[Boy bawang]

30 fps incoming.

It's 30fps on series s, so it would be foolish to expect more than that on an hybrid device pulling 10W. Portability comes with compromises.

 

[Deerock71]

Considering how much I'm enjoying Outlaws, I might give this a look.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Ubisoft has always been a big 3rd party dev for nintendo, unfortunate they cheaped out a keycard

Outlaws is a much better game, imo.

 

[FoxMcChief]

I'll pick it up on a sale.

I'm not saying Switch 2 won't have good third party support.
But Ubisoft is very consistent at basically always supporting new hardware and services. They were there for the WiiU, Stadia, Meta Quest, etc, they are also some of the first games to show up whenever there's some new subscription service.

North Korea could make a console and Ubisoft would probably be like

I'd say the big difference is that Switch never got any native ports of current gen Assassin's Creed games.

Sure, but that was probably more because of technical limitations than Ubisoft not wanting to support the console. Because they did consistently support it with other easier to run titles.
What's funny is that Black Flag on Switch is still arguably one of the best looking and more technically impressive games on the system.

That's kinda my point. The tech in Switch 2 allowed Ubisoft to port current gen open world games to the system when they struggled to do that for the original Switch. So it bodes well for an improvement in third party support more broadly.
