Switch 2 upgrade?

[eatcake-11706]

i haven’t made my own post so why not, they aren’t saying anything

even the same build with 60fps and the render scale bumped up would be fine for now

i dunno about render scale but surely it’s not hard to change a number from 30 to 60 right? i get that if they wanted to do it they’d do it properly, but if it’s not coming for a long while or ever, it’s the least they can do

As much as I would love that, the switch playerbase is miniscule and hardly worth spending resources to develop for.

It’s a self-reinforcing problem - Overwatch on the Switch 2 runs poorly so fewer people play it - and because fewer people play it less resources are put into it which in turn means it continues to run poorly!

If you fix the performance then you also fix lack of players!

Switch 2 could easily be the biggest platform for Overwatch players (apart from Mac which OW2 would skyrocket to be the most popular Mac game if they actually port it!) - especially if they supported native mouse control!

but they already made the whole game for a console that doesn’t even run the game properly… and what kind of “resources” does it take to change the frame limit from 30 to 60?

exactly

there’s a reason the xbox and ps4/5 player base isn’t small. it’s nothing unprecedented

as far as other games on the switch goes for examples … then there’s splatoon? it’s not free but it’s alive and well, and i’m sure overwatch can get to that state if it actually runs

It’s not just the performance it’s nintendo’s online services being dog .

It will take resources away from developing a new weeb bait Waifu to sell skins for.

I want a switch update, I really do I am just giving you reasons why this garbage company won’t do it unless they see guaranteed $ signs.

yeah, porting these wafiu skins is ENOUGH work as it is

i don’t see why they shouldn’t see $ signs though, maybe they’re being silent on purpose and they’re looking for a good time to announce it to get a bunch of new players (this is probably some bs but come on…)
