Fans hoping to experience the epic adventure of Baldur’s Gate 3 on Nintendo’s next-generation console will be disappointed. Larian Studios, the acclaimed developer behind the massive role-playing game, has officially stated that Baldur’s Gate 3 will not be ported to the Nintendo Switch 2.
Despite the confirmation, Larian Studios expressed a strong desire to bring the game to the platform. A representative from the studio mentioned they ‘would have loved to’ see Baldur’s Gate 3 on the Switch 2, suggesting that the decision was likely influenced by technical challenges or performance constraints rather than a lack of interest.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is renowned for its expansive world, deep narrative, and demanding graphical requirements, which have pushed the boundaries of current-generation consoles and PCs. Adapting such a title to the hardware specifications of a portable console, even an upgraded one like the rumored Switch 2, presents significant hurdles.
This news follows previous discussions about the game’s performance on other platforms, where Larian has consistently worked to optimize the experience while maintaining the game’s integrity. The studio’s transparency regarding the Switch 2 port indicates a realistic assessment of what would be achievable without compromising the game’s quality.
