While Crimson Desert is currently delighting PS5, Xbox Series, and PC players, Switch 2 owners are left out of the fun so far. But that could change in the not-too-distant future.
In fact, during a discussion with investors, Heo Jin-young, CEO of Pearl Abyss, raised the possibility of a port to the Nintendo console. He noted that the Switch 2’s technical specifications are inferior and that optimization work would be necessary.
“Compared to other consoles, the Switch 2 has lower technical specifications, so we’ll have to make some compromises. Internally, we’ve begun research and development work with great interest.”
This doesn’t necessarily mean, however, that the South Korean studio will succeed in porting Crimson Desert to the Switch 2.
