The developer, Virtuos Games, has helped port games such as Outer Worlds, Dark Souls: Remastered, and BioShock: The Collection. Yet players may be worried that the more technically impressive games of the next generation will make Switch ports incompatible. Details are still emerging about PS5 and Xbox Series X titles, but according to the VP of Virtuos, the Nintendo Switch will be able to play these titles.

The VP of Virtuos games, Elijah Freeman, was optimistic about the ability to port next-generation games and stated, “we believe that 2020 will be the year of game-centric development, where players will expect as standard a consistency of experience with their favorite games. With the launch of the new Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 this year, developers need to strategize and plan for the game experience to be consistent across all platforms.” Freeman then commented on the issue of the strategic plans for the company by saying, “At Virtuos we are charged up and full of talent that is ready to help bring these new games to the Nintendo Switch.” This will please Nintendo Switch fans, although it will be interesting to see how these plans are developed on.

Many players will be excited to see what next-gen games are ported to the Switch and how they will be adapted to run on the console. Ports for titles like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt have been critically praised despite a graphic downgrade and it will be interesting to see if this can be done while not disappointing players in the future. Achieving a consistent standard was outlined as important by Freeman and this will likely be the greatest challenge with ports going forward.

Many will be interested in how the Switch adapts to the challenges of the next-generation, but at the moment the console has plenty of games on offer. With several exclusives, the Nintendo Switch looks set to continue its success, and if it can run the games of the next-generation it may gain even more fans.

The Nintendo Switch is available now.
