and the fact that there, it WILL be 75-80 Gb like on PS4 and the mandatory occasional updates WILL be the same 20+ Gb as well. Guess I'll have to invest in the Steam version despite the performance challenges it may face on my GPDW1. Then again, come to think of it, could it leave a higher possibility of ESO on Switch in Japan? Granted, if the game has a market slice there, Bethesda could just as easily make use of the budding trend and have the whole deal streamed like PSO2.Īs for me, it's certainly a bummer since the PS4 version I already have to stream is additionally impaired by the control scheme (the usual "triggers are on the rear touchpad and button remapping is for wimps" syndrome that has recently muddled even my long-awaited Horizon Zero Dawn experience among others :V ). Alas, it's not a problem with Switch storage (especially since the system is future-proofed for VERY spacious memory cards in the long term) but rather a problem with commonly available mobile internet speeds and data plans.

I also remember when I couldn't access ESO on PS4 for over a month before another update seemingly fixed things - the thing just wouldn't connect to the server! And word-of-mouth remedies in the userbase revolved around "try to wipe and reinstall the game", too.

I've personally experienced this annoyance with stuff like Fortnite and Paladins, especially when their updates glitch up and report "corrupted data", making you redownload the full several gigabytes anew - and from what I've read, it happens on other platforms as well.

After all, if PS4 updates seem to be almost a quarter of the game's total size (or more - I think I've seen numbers like 25-29 Gb at times), even a proportionally smaller piece could present an occasional challenge on the go, especially since MMOs tend to keep the user stuck on the front porch until updated. If anything, I kinda suspect it's the UPDATE sizes that may leave the developers doubtful in the context of a hybrid console many use portably. To be fair, it's not uncommon for Switch ports to have noticeably smaller file sizes than PlayBox ones, thanks to both the lower resolution assets required and the higher potential of data compression since flash memory read speeds comfortably exceed those of reported PS4 BD ones. It's better to make a false statement that seems reasonable to the unknowing, risking to look incompetent in the eyes of those that probably know your true motivations anyway. They sound like things players and press would want to argue with you. why would they go through with that?īut hey, these don't sound good in PR-talk. Optimising the game for Switch's chipset, to assure proper online cross-play, would be A NIGHTMARE, and with the project already looking unlikely to be profitable considering through. Profit margins on 32GB cartridges is likely not good, and the 64GB carts arriving next year probably aren't better in that regard. Traditional MMOs have historically performed poorly on consoles, and there's rather little reason to gamble on things having changed. Updates would likely take up massive space, so now subscribers would need crazy big SD cards as well. Selling an extra game-specific subscription to Nintendo Online subscribers would be hard. This is all a rather thin excuse to cover up that:

All things considered, it is ridiculous how a PC install of ESO takes up around 90GB.īriefly mulling over the options available, I can say with a good amount of certainty that a Switch release could fit snugly on a 32GB cartridge with the player experience remaining virtually unchanged. I hope nobody on the team wears "one of the largest games ever made" as a badge of honor. It's a possibility the internal storage limitations of the Switch and game card sizes are deterring companies from releasing larger MMO-like experiences on the platform. In contrast, ESO is more than double this size. It is one of the largest games ever made, and it just will not fit on Switch.Īs GameSpot point points out, NBA 2K19 is just under 32 GB and is one of the biggest games on the system right now. I would love for it to because I love Switch. We have thought about Switch but ESO is an enormous game, and it just will not work. Speaking to GameSpot at this year's PAX Australia, ZeniMax Online Studios' Game Director Matt Firor said it wasn't going to happen due to the game's large file size, which takes up about 75 GB: This has since raised questions about the chances of the massive multiplayer experience Elder Scrolls Online releasing on the Switch. The game's success led to the reveal The Elder Scrolls Legends was also on the way to Nintendo's platform.

As you might recall, the first of the lot was The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim in 2017. So far, the company has been able to bring across multiple big-name titles - all of which have been positively received. Bethesda has done a fantastic job supporting the Switch since it was released.
