Acclaimed first person puzzler The Witness, from Braid creator Jonathan Blow and Thekla Inc, has been available for PC, Xbox One and PS4 since 2016. In fact, it recently released for macOS and Android in 2017. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like it will be heading to the Nintendo Switch any time soon.

When asked on Twitter about the possibility of a port for the Switch, Blow simply said that, “We are not working on such a port at this time.” While he didn’t outright squash plans for The Witness to come to Nintendo’s hybrid console, it doesn’t seem like it’s something that’s on the cards.

If you haven’t played The Witness, then you can read our official review of the game here. The game was critically acclaimed for its wordless narrative, innovative puzzles that relied on observation and perspective, and the gorgeous art style.

Thekla Inc.’s awesome first person puzzler The Witness is now available for Xbox One. It launched earlier this year for PS4 and PC and received a strong amount of critical acclaim for its visuals, puzzle design and environments.

The Witness essentially sees you waking up on a deserted island and going about solving puzzles. The variety and sheer number of puzzles varies – you could be playing the game for 10 hours or carrying on for a 100 hours depending on how much you explore. Don’t be surprised if you come across puzzles which are simply impossible to finish though.

On Xbox One, The Witness occupies about 4.23 GB of space. An iOS version is also in development and will feature the same content as the console versions albeit with lesser visual quality. What are your thoughts on the Xbox One version finally releasing? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned for more information.

Jonathan Blow’s The Witness has sold more in its first week than Braid did within its first year and the creator has revealed that for PS4 and PC sales have added up to more than 100,000 units thus far.

In a recent blog post, Blow did outline the current game’s success, revealing how it hasn’t quite covered all costs yet. “The game is doing great. That doesn’t mean we have broken even on our development cost yet. Because our development budget was so high, $5 million in revenue is not enough to recover it yet (because we split that revenue with the storefronts, we have to subtract VAT in Europe, etc).

“However, it is looking like, as time goes on, we should break even and make a comfortable safety margin on top of that, which will allow us to make more nice games in the future — unless some kind of world economic disaster happens.”

Thekla Inc.’s The Witness is a pretty big success for the studio. According to creator Jonathan Blow, the game has already sold more in its first week than Braid1 – Blow’s first game – sold in its first year.

Speaking on Twitter, Blow stated that, “It’s hard to talk about numbers without breaking NDAs, but The Witness is on track to sell more in a week than Braid sold in its first year, and Braid was a hit indie game! (I’ll let you know if this officially happens!) Which is not to be too money-oriented, it’s just great that we’ll be able to make the next game at a comparable budget level (maybe bigger, we’ll see!)”

The Witness has been praised with much critical acclaim, especially for its art style and puzzle treatment. The game is currently available on PC and PS4; it’s expected to hit iOS and even Xbox One (if leaked listings are to be believed).

Thekla, Inc.’s The Witness is now available for PlayStation 4 and PC. Creator Jonathan Blow offered his thanks to fans and publisher Sony on the PlayStation Blog recently.

“I want to thank everyone at Sony who gave us so much support over the past few years. It was a very unusual step at the time for Sony to invite an independent developer like us to their console launch announcement — as far as I know, it was unprecedented — and it was a nice experience for us, and it probably helped a lot of new people find out about the game. Since then Sony has hosted us at E3 and PSX several times, and helped us in many ways when it came to building the best game we could for the PlayStation 4.

“Lastly, I want to thank everyone out there who has supported the game, just by being interested in it — whether you enjoyed my previous game, Braid, or found out about The Witness in some other way. And I would like to thank the players who are about to have a very interesting time with the game and don’t even know it yet!”

Jonathan Blow’s The Witness has been rated for the Xbox One by the Entertainment Software Rating Board, which pretty much means it will be coming to the Xbox One soon.

This doesn’t mean it’ll be out alongside the PC and PS4 versions though as the development studio Thekla Inc. stated that it would be out on other platforms later. For now, if you want to experience the first person puzzler, you’ll need to pick it up on January 28th for either PC or PS4.

The Witness is the next big adventure from the creator of Braid and will take place on an island full of puzzles. Depending on how you play, the game can last for either 20 hours or 100 hours, indicating the amount of additional content available. How will it fare when it releases? Stay tuned for more information on the same in the coming weeks and let us know whether you’ll be picking up The Witness.
