No Plans For Conan Exiles On Nintendo Switch

No plans, at least not yet.

298 Comments

Conan Exiles, the new sandbox action game from Funcom, is unlikely to get a Nintendo Switch version, it seems. Game director Joel Bylos told DualShockers that the studio currently has no plans to bring Conan Exiles to Nintendo Switch and has had no conversations with Nintendo.

Also in the interview, Bylos confirmed that Conan Exiles is already running on Xbox One internally. The game "looks pretty good," DualShockers reported, though Bylos apparently said the control system still needs work.

Now Playing: Conan Exiles - Siege Weapons Official Gameplay

An in-development version of Conan Exiles is due out for Xbox One through the console's Game Preview system later this year. The game is already available on PC through Steam Early Access; it sold 320,000 copies in just one week after it was released earlier this year.

Conan Exiles is also coming to PlayStation 4, but a release date for Sony's system has not been announced.

I think the default for most games is just "No" - we don't need a press release every time

Good.

I know Nintendo hasn't really been good with third party games but losing this one is more of a good thing.

Garbage of a game. Early access crap.

If Sony was hesitant about allowing an unfinished Early Access game to their console, you know Nintendo isn't gonna do it. Why should anyone be surprised?

And in other news, Super Mario Odyssey won't be coming to X-Box One or PS4 *shock*. A good rule of thumb seems to be unless it is a independent game on Steam, A Nintendo developed game - it won't be coming to the Switch. Unless of course it is a 3rd party title developed before the year 2012.

One could say that a game with realistic dong physics doesn't really fit the Nintendo brand...

@nbf4548: I love when I talk about Conan Exiles and people are like, "I know that game. There a big dongs in it."

Nothing about the gameplay or the fact it's sandbox. Just the dong or big bewbs.

@cashx002: I'm assuming you're referring to my comment about staying away from the Xbone, and I say that because there aren't very many exclusives on the system compared to other platforms. I honestly regret purchasing a Xbone.

@KahnArtizt: There is a best platform, and honestly it's PC. I game on everything (or try to) and I'm a big Nintendo fan, but I always gravitate back to PC. Not to mention you have emulators that you can run on PC too. It's just too versatile.

Conan could come to the Switch if some characters are replaced by Nintendo icons. For example, Toad could play Conan's dick in the Switch version.

@ButDuuude: That'd be massively effed up having a mushroom man schlong.

You'd look down and see him smiling and "tee-hee"ing and talking to you in this high-pitched voice.

Never that.

The face would definitely need to be placed outwards so you couldn't see it with your own eyes. You'd get him to shut up by peeing out his mouth.

Geezus man, not even a Conan-grade barbarian could handle a Toad dick.

He would probably roar and chop it off, then make the Switch.

@deathwish026: I'll second that "duh".

Switch hardware wouldn't stand a snowball's chance in hell at running even a stripped down 720p version of the game.

Okay, maybe something utterly hideous barely adhering to 30fps, but a huge stretch.

Besides, not the type of game the Switch wants or needs any time soon -- and 3 other platforms to release it on is logistically enough for the studio to manage without contending with a gimped port to a device woefully short on RAM and GPU muscle.

Simply over-complicating your pipeline for nothing.

Very confusing article. Conan exile seems to be a game that is demanding on the graphic card. Not the Switches target group..What is the deal, really Gamespot.
Why are you telling us this? Its like telling us that the earth is not flat... Sorry but we already suspected this :p
Id be much more interested to read about smaller exciting indie projects for the Switch. Owlboy, maybe a port of journey and flower...
games that works on the hardware's capacity...

Are we going to have to endure an article every time a 3rd party developer ditches the Switch? Let's be fair here. We'll use a simple rule. Is the game coming out for the Android OS? No? Then we shut up about it.

yeah... that's a useless article. I mean, many devs didn't had any conversations with Sony and many games aren't coming on PS4. The same can be said about XONE, PC, and every other platforms ever.
