Dead By Daylight for Switch?

I don't know if the Devs ever said anything about it, but I think it would be a good idea. The graphics aren't that great and I think it would run pretty well on the switch and you could play it whenever and wherever. Any thoughts?

    No it's a terrible thought.
    Switch is inferior to Xbox One and PS4 in terms of performance and even they have problems with this game.
    Heck, even Xbox One X can't run it on stable FPS.

    They could always lower the graphics, like most games on switch.

    You mean playing it on 0% resolution, Low and 640x480?
    It would still have problems imo.

    It's not a problem with the graphics. DBD has so many "moving" things. All the grass, little hook swivels, ambient moving parts on generators and other objects, it puts a massive stress on the system. I hardly believe they are planning to port it to Switch anytime soon.

    Never said that. Even so, the game would still be playable. It could run on medium settings from pc.

    I'll put it this way:
    The game is terribly optimized. It has FPS problems even on the "strongest" console.
    If the devs will optimize the game (it's planned for the December update), it could maybe run on lowest settings.

    There's no plans for it at the moment. It was asked on a dev stream a while back.

    Like it was said. There are no plans right now and I doubt that Behaviour would have the ressources or if it worth for them to put ressources in a Switch version.
    Actually we could call us glad, if they manage to make the Xboc One/PS4 versions perform better as they struggle right now.

    It’s a possibility, but they probably wanna focus on fixing the game itself before moving onto other platforms.
