Porting this game for the Nintendo Switch?
It is a stupid no brainer question since the game is in Early Acess and all that, but a future plan or idée maybe?

The whole thing would have to be overhauled to be optimized to be used with touch screen and gamepad. Probably more work than its worth... but good news is that 1.0 is coming soon, so maybe we'll get to see what Tynan's decisions are for the future... who knows it can still happen after he considers the PC Rimword done.

The idea is solid enough, is there any plans of doing so and can the switch handle it ...we do not know.

Only if Nintendo ports Zelda over to PC.

Man Rimworld without mods though. What a shame.

Seems awful underpowered for a game that brings modern desktop PCs to their knees in late game. (CPUs are the problem btw, not the GPUs)

This sounds like a terrible idea why do u even own a Nintendo switch to begin with its like the worse gaming device I can think of(I’m thinking like desktop laptop Xbox ps4) it warps in the charging pad and it’s litterally just a smaller Wii U that u shouldn’t even by either in my opinion the Nintendo ds is the only good product they have and if u spent like $340.00 on the switch then u dun ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up

This has gotta be a baitpost. That you literally have no grasp of hardware issues here. God just controlling it alone would be a nightmare.

Probably not, Tynan said that the only non-PC device he was considering developing the game for was the iPad.

Someone has very strong opinions about the Switch.

In all seriousness, why not just get one of each (XBox, gaming desktop, PS4, Switch)? Then you can play titles only released on one, regardless of what the one is.

But... Why?

PC Mouse is the Best Mouse.

Yes, I would love to see how a 300+ men raid literally melts a Switch.
