Nintendo Switch crossplay and upgraded graphics question
How will the Switch get crossplay if the content isn't 1 to 1 with other consoles. It's missing the Freddy DLC and stage which sucks for Switch users.
Also, the Switch version already stutters here and there especially during skill checks. How will the game run with the upgraded graphics. Is it going to be blurrier and more choppy. Will they leave the game as is without the upgrades?

Only the devs know how it's all gonna work out right now.

I was hoping one of them would give some insight.
As a switch player i really wish Freddy was on here and I hope it doesn't affect cross play if they can't get the content on switch.

I guess the graphics will also tie in with an graphics engine update, I don’t know if that will impact performance for better or worse though..
and I thought the Progression with the characters wouldn’t be such a problem, since you would just not have the chars available on switch, but I never thought about the map and getting matched with those characters from other consoles!
i really hope by the time crossplay is implemented they found a way to get the license to Switch!
also: cross Progression is not yet confirmed at all!

i get getting the freddy license but if they can't get it why can't they just release the map on switch and call it something else.
Switch players have one less map. God knows the same damn night maps repeat over and over.

I think they would need to change too many direct references to the franchise since it’s not only the name of the map that’s tied to NoES. Also it’s 5 maps (variations) that are missing..
i really hope they will figure something out. Since the Quentin face rework thing is still going on, I have high hopes, they can’t comment because they actually negotiate about it, and that should also include the Switch licensing. That’s why I think they can’t comment on this now either

Yeah that makes sense. Hopefully cause missing content sucks you know. Also, if the crossplay thing is going to work then they need content to be 1 to 1 i would imagine.
Isn't that always the case?

I would imagine any cross-play on Switch would have to be accompanied by a content update that makes everything available on the platform.

My guess is a lot of Switch dbd is imported and so there is a lot of places they can optimize performance. For example you can look at breath of the wild or even dark souls and see little to no frame rate drops despite having a lot of scenery detail. Plus a new graphics engine can really help.
Cross play isn't too hard to do. Just don't make Elm street dlc playable on switch. Or wait until the legal battle is over, add Elm dlc and then add cross play.

Legal battle?

I expect the graphics update to make the game more laggy on consoles, because it has been that way in the past. (I'm playing on PS4 since 2017.)
Just take a look at old Léry's vs new Léry's, for example. Currently, the maps with the least amount of lags are the oldest ones. 😂

Since theres no Freddy, you'll be able to go against him, during crossplay if someone on PS4 or Xbox are playing Freddy you'll be able to go against him, but sadly not play as him.. my proof is that window player are matched with steam, and sadly windows doesn't have Freddy, but they still pair against him

thats good news for me actually since i only play survivor. Sucks that he won't be in fully though.
When window players play with steam players does the freddy stage show up as well? Wonder how that content is added to the switch version without the legal rights even if you cant use the content unless it's being paired with a console that has that content already.
