No Fallout 76 for Switch because it was not feasible

Bethesda Softworks has confirmed that Fallout 76 will not be released on Nintendo Switch.

Bethesda Softworks, one of the first proponents of the latest Nintendo console, has brought a ton of games to the platform. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Doom and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus have all found a home on Switch. Even the next Eternal Doom should be launched on Switch. However, some titles that Bethesda will not bring on the platform.

At a PAX Australia panel, Pete Hines, Marketing Manager at Bethesda, confirmed that Fallout 76 was not intended for Switch:

"The switch is something that I can say with certainty that it's part of every conversation with every developer that we have about what we're going to do in the future because we consider it to be" 39 is a viable platform, "Hines said. "If the game works, we want it to be on all possible platforms. Fallout 76 is not because it just was not feasible. "

Hines went on to say that they were evaluating each match to see if it would work with Switch. No reason has been given why Fallout 76 would not work, but one can guess. Probably the size and details of the world and the component still online have made it impossible to launch on Switch. Even running on the Xbox One X, Fallout 76 is struggling to deliver a solid image of 30 frames per second.

Fallout 76 will be available November 14 on PS4, Xbox One and PC. The beta version of the game will be launched tomorrow October 30 on PS4 and PC. It is currently available on Xbox One.
