Tabata: No plans for Final Fantasy XV on Nintendo Switch

Final Fantasy XV won’t be making its way to Nintendo Switch, Square Enix confirms. Or at least – there’s no plan for it to. Speaking with DualShockers, director Hajime Tabata shared his reasoning.

“There are no plans, it wouldn’t run…” Tabata explains. “It might run… but we haven’t conducted the proper tests on whether it would run properly on Switch or not, so I cannot say for sure. There are no plans for Switch at the moment, but overall, there is interest in the platform among the development team. We do have lots of Nintendo fans inside [Business Division 2].”

With Final Fantasy XV already out on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, it’s more likely we’ll see a PC version down the line. Tabata has expressed numerous times a desire to do so – even recently, he told Famitsu: “I want to show PC users Final Fantasy XV running on high-end machines, and we personally would like to see it, too. Also, I would like to try developing on PC to pursue a unique way of playing with PC-exclusive features like making your own quests and enjoying the world using things like mods.”
