Palworld Developers Consider Switch 2 Port Despite Ongoing Nintendo Lawsuit

Pocketpair is exploring the possibility of bringing its hit game to Nintendo's next console, contingent on its hardware capabilities, while navigating legal challenges from Nintendo and The Pokémon Company

Palworld's absence on the current Nintendo Switch is due to the game's high hardware demands, which exceed the console's capabilities.
Pocketpair has expressed interest in releasing Palworld on the Nintendo Switch 2 if the upcoming console is powerful enough to run the game effectively.
The studio has not yet received technical specifications for the Switch 2, leaving the feasibility of a port uncertain.
Nintendo and The Pokémon Company's lawsuit against Pocketpair over alleged patent infringement remains unresolved, creating additional uncertainty around a potential Switch 2 release.
Despite legal challenges, Palworld continues to grow, with recent updates adding crossplay functionality across PC, Xbox, and PlayStation platforms.
