Final Fantasy 15 Dev – No Plans To Launch On Nintendo Switch, May Not Be Able To Run Properly

But there is "overall interest" in the system.

Posted By | On 12th, Feb. 2017

For fans of RPGs and the Final Fantasy series who were hoping to be able to play Final Fantasy XV on the upcoming Nintendo Switch, we have some bad news for you. Apparently, Square Enix has no plans to bring the game to Nintendo’s new console-handheld hybrid, claiming that it probably wouldn’t be able to run properly on the upcoming system.

When asked in an interview with Dualshockers regarding the same, Hajime Tabata said that the game “wouldn’t run”. However he later stated that “it might run” but they “haven’t conducted the proper tests on whether it would run properly on Switch or not, so I cannot say for sure.”

There is, however, general interest in the system from his side. “There are no plans for Switch at the moment,” Tabata said, “but overall, there is interest in the platform among the development team. We do have lots of Nintendo fans inside BD2. Incidentally, I think that Switch would be really cool if it could run Android apps on its portable screen.”

Well, that’s a real shame. For more constant updates on Final Fantasy XV, stay right here on GamingBolt.
