Rocket League has proven to be very popular, recently receiving a new Dropshot mode, but questions have been raised as to whether the game will come to the Nintendo Switch, an issue which has been addressed by the vice president of Psyonix, Jeremy Dunham, when he recently spoke to IGN.
Dunham revealed that the studio are now considering whether or not to bring the game to Nintendo's console, as there are many factors of play, not least of which is technical limitations. "Just like all the other platforms, we are evaluating it. We're looking to see what the technical requirements are," Dunham explained. "We're looking to see what kind of true community demand there is. We're looking to see how it would benefit the community as a whole. So we're still in that evaluation phase. It's definitely too early to say that it wouldn't happen, but it's also definitely too early to say that it would."
"I think we've shown over time we're a community based company, and so what we're doing first is seeing what kind of impact that would have and who needs it and who wants the game and we'll go from there," he added. "Luckily the platform's only been out for a month, so we have plenty of time to look to see how it's doing and what our audience wants."
He also revealed that the studio never expected the game to get so big and for so much content to be released for it, saying: "We didn't expect that we would be doing as much content as we've done in the first year and three quarters that we've been out. We also originally were looking at about a one-and-a-half to two-and-a-half year major support model before moving onto the next project. It would be silly for us to stick to that same timeline. So now we have an indefinite support window where we're just going to keep supporting the game as long as people play it."
Is this the perfect game to suit the Switch?
