How well does DbD run on Switch?
I got DbD on both PC and Ps4, and since i saw there's gonna be cross progression between PC and Switch i might buy it for this platform too for whenever i'm staying away from home.
So, is the performance good, bad or tolerable?

I got it last month and its not bad for me, I can't compare it to other platforms because I haven't played them but if you have a pro controller it's fine. Skill checks are fine and fps is also fine (atleast for me)

The most noticeable issue to me, personally, is a significant drop in graphics quality compared to other platforms. I have played in a while on switch but I've also heard of Framerate issues being addressed by the devs.

I know you've already accepted an answer, but let me just say that..
- Switch graphics are so bad that survivor faces don't even load in when you're on the homescreen/in a lobby.
- The maps are unbelievable dark for some reason compared to other platforms. This is a nightmare for killer.
- If you think PS/Xbox lags, Switch is a whole different story. Skill checks make you lag, struggling on hook usually ends up in you dying because of lag, bloodlust makes you lag, etc.
- Unless you have the pro controller/have it docked, the controls are so wonky & inefficient imo even if you rebind your actions.
- Etc. I'd recommend saving your money unless you're REALLY craving it for on-the-go.

After tremendous efforts, I got a friend into trying DBD. He bought it for switch. The thing didnt even manage to launch DBD, so there´s that.

I play on switch almost primarily (with PC being the other platform), and the game runs fine for me. The graphics aren't fantastic, sure, and there seems to be more bugs than some of the other versions in general, but the performance is fine overall. I think it's worth it for the portability.
To be fair my home internet is quite good, but even with worse internet in other places I don't run into performance issues other than lag. There are a lot of bs hits on both the killer and survivor sides, definitely more than PC, but that comes with the territory of a less powerful console. It's choppy at times (and more choppy than pc) but honestly, after a few games, you get used to it fast. Skill-checks have some input lag sometimes, but again, you get used to it. I'm not sure how it compares to PS4, but honestly it might not be that different.
Also, drift is a problem if you use the joycons, but if you already have a functioning pro controller, drift isn't a problem.

Same. Nintendo Switch is portable so the game isn't going to be as perfect with fps which is something you'd go in knowing and by knowing that it doesn't feel like a problem. I've been a switch player since it released and honestly I prefer playing dbd on my switch over pc. I only use the pc version for the ptb really. For people who say it's worse than mobile are dead wrong. I've played mobile and it's not good. It's not even comparable.

The Switch is getting a Pro version soon so wait for that before getting it.

Thanks everyone.
Guess i'll stay away from the Switch version i guess for the moment. I don't care much about the graphics but i do care about performance, and i also don't have a pro controller.
Also Monster hunter Rise is coming over next month, so i guess i'll be playing that.

Having a pro controller seems to be key to be able to properly play DbD on Switch, so i might try it once i get one. Also i think i read that cross progression between PC and Switch is gonna happen between April and June iirc, so i'm not in a rush.
Thanks again.

Is it going to be on the Pro version?

@ChurchofPig Its just a Switch Revision. Like PS4 Pro but I think it'll be almost as strong as the PS4. It's cost will be an extra $100 but using the current Switch.. I wouldn't suggest it. I own it and I don't play it. When I did, I could only play docked because the FPS drops was just horrendous. The new Switch version should at least give it the boost to play almost normally while docked. Undocked, it'll play as like a normal docked Switch.

Ok I wasn't completely sure because I haven't been paying attention to what the new Switch Pro was going to be like
