Overview
- This week Sandfall Interactive said it remains interested in bringing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 to Nintendo Switch 2 but that it is too early to announce any plans.
- Developers describe a Switch 2 port as a big technical challenge because the console is less powerful than PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and would struggle to match the game's current visuals and systems.
- Sandfall flagged Unreal Engine 5 compatibility as a major barrier, saying many UE5 features do not work on Switch 2 while noting that UE5.8's new Lumen Lite/Lumen Light tools could reduce rendering costs if they roll out fully.
- The studio's small size and past reliance on external support mean Sandfall must assess its resources and possibly hire partners before committing to a port.
- What to watch next: Epic Games' guidance on UE5 support for Switch 2 and further engine updates, which Sandfall says will determine feasibility and any timeline for a formal port announcement.
