Although MotoGP hit retail shelves in June, the release was only held for the Xbox One and the PS4, with the Nintendo Switch left in the dust. Does that means there won’t be a Switch version in the future? You might think so, considering it’s a third-party title, but in a discussion with Red Bull Games, the lead programmer Michele Caletti mentioned a possible Switch release sometime next year:
“MotoGP 17 is the last title made with our in-house engine. Future titles might also be available on Switch, thanks to the support of Unreal Engine, so it’s something possible from the next year on.
The development kits for Switch have been available during the late development phase of MotoGP, thus all the assets and game modes have been created without Switch in mind. Porting it now would end up with something that would not satisfy us and our users. We prefer to concentrate our efforts on building a great Switch version for the next chapter of the series.”
Are you willing to wait a year for a Switch release? At least it’s a possibility.
