One of the most famous RPG games of recent times, Genshin Impact has been made available on various platforms, including mobile devices, PCs, and gaming consoles, with the exception of Nintendo Switch. There are no concrete plans for its release on this platform, according to rumors circulating in the gaming community.
In January 2020, developers announced their intentions to bring the game to this atypical console. However, as of May 2021, this remains nothing more than a hope. Some speculate that the delay is due to the weak performance of the Nintendo Switch. Interestingly, Genshin Impact runs smoothly on mobile devices with less powerful hardware and similar touchscreen controls.
This speculation may hold some truth, as Genshin Impact receives frequent updates that could potentially increase its system requirements. This could render some older phones and tablets unfit to run the game. If a similar scenario is anticipated for the Nintendo Switch, it would not make sense to release the game only for it to become outdated shortly after. There is a possibility that the game will debut on the rumored Nintendo Switch Pro instead, where it could provide a major selling point. While the Switch Pro is already highly anticipated and is expected to sell out quickly like the PS5, Genshin Impact would further sweeten the deal for potential buyers of this upgraded console.
