- A new report claims Starfield’s Switch 2 port may have been cancelled or shelved.
- Development challenges are said to be the main reason behind the uncertain status.
- Bethesda has not officially announced Starfield for Switch 2, so this remains unconfirmed for now.
Starfield has been through a number of updates since its release in 2023. Rumors also suggest Bethesda was working on a Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game until recently.
However, it seems this version was in jeopardy for a while, and with past rumors also pointing to the possibility of a cancellation, reports now suggest that it may have been cancelled altogether.
Why it matters: Bethesda has been supporting the Nintendo Switch platform for years now, releasing titles like Skyrim and Oblivion Remastered on Nintendo hardware.
Starfield expanded beyond Xbox and PC earlier this year, but the RPG was rumored for a Nintendo Switch 2 release for a while now.
This information came from reliable insider NateTheHate, who has now shared an update on the matter. He states that the Nintendo Switch 2 port has faced development problems.
Note that the insider does not mention that the project has been cancelled, but he does say that a cancellation wouldn’t be surprising at this point. Although the insider does not go into too many specifics, many always expected Starfield’s transition to the Nintendo Switch 2 to be a challenging one.
Because of how big the game is, it even pushes the Xbox Series S|X and PS5 to their limits in certain instances. Therefore, it wouldn’t be shocking if Bethesda failed to make a viable Nintendo Switch 2 port.
Bethesda struggling with Starfield on the Switch 2 means that games like GTA 6 might struggle in a similar manner. The latter was recently discussed by Nintendo of America’s president in an interview.
