As the release of Palworld draws near, a question on many gamers’ minds is whether this much-anticipated title will make its way to the Nintendo Switch. We have the answers.
We’ve got a Palworld countdown ticking down the days and minutes until this exciting game releases!
Is Palworld Coming to Nintendo Switch?
At present, a Nintendo Switch version of Palworld has not been confirmed. The developers, Pocketpal, have announced that Palworld will be available on Xbox consoles and PC starting January 19th, 2024, during its early access phase.
Will Palworld Ever Be Released on Nintendo Switch?
The future of Palworld on Nintendo Switch is still up in the air. Nintendo has not expressed any reservations about hosting games similar to Pokémon, so it’s not expected that Palworld would face any barriers to entry.
The possibility of a Switch version hinges on the game’s performance and player demand. Given the success of similar titles like Temtem and Coromon on the Switch and the continuous search for Pokémon alternatives, Palworld could potentially follow suit if it resonates well with the gaming community.
However, any plans from Pocketpal for a Switch port may only materialize after Palworld exits early access, a phase that’s expected to last at least a year, with the possibility of extension.
What Platforms Is Palworld Releasing On?
Currently, Palworld is set to launch on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. As of now, PlayStation users are not part of the initial release plan alongside the Nintendo Switch. This decision may seem surprising considering the potential wider audience reach. It’s likely that new developments regarding platform expansion, including PlayStation, may emerge in the coming months, especially if Palworld gains significant traction post-launch.
