Thank you for doing this! My long train journeys will be improved a lot. Hopefully I am not the only person that will play on Switch xD

    I really hope they will be able to do data transfer, even though I know they aren’t going to, so I don’t have to start all over.

    I dont get why people say they can play wherever they want now when that's not the case. You can play wherever you want WHEN THERE'S AN INTERNET CONNECTION. And this game is online only, which means we cant play it anywhere unless theres an internet connection. I'm excited for it too, but you cant play it everywhere

    I wouldn't recommend playing it undocked, that's what was shown in the direct and it didn't look the best. Totally playable though.

    I'm really hoping an offline mode is introduced when the Switch version comes out. I'd love to be able to play DbD whenever and wherever I want.

    this game on switch will probably make the switch run hot as hell and decrease the consoles life expectancy and probably be like a potato for stability and fps. you have been warned in advance. have a good day. that is all. lol. the switch for this game is massively under powered. i doubt the devs could even optimise it well enough to be stable

    I can imagine sitting on the train and getting trashed.
    Then it turns out they're on the train as well and knew you were the one who got trashed.
    So they come up to you to shout GG EZ LRN2PLAY!

    Have you played breath of the wild? If my switch can play this I am sure it can handle DBD

    You do realize that that changes nothing, its still a multiplayer game and with bad wifi you will be screwed

    I do not think so, I would play this on a Game Boy color if that was the option!

    It'll change the Killer's host connection, at least if someone lags it'll be on them alone.

    I think people are just negative in general now. Most of the people complain about it probably do not even own a Switch!

    It isnt, but we are having a problem with the way the devs set their priorities.
    There are so many issues in DBD, but again they take the $$ way..... classic

    I think they are saying they'd rather player on a powerful pc instead of a less powerful Nintendo Switch.

    I know, but it is more for travelling and playing away from home. No one is asking them to swap to console and I felt it was more about slapping a metaphorical penis on the table than saying anything people want to hear xD

    If cross play was happening but it's not...so the two will be out of synch.

    Very true but I already own it on 2 platforms, I do not mind restarting again especially when I have 4 4 hour journeys a week xD

    Really? I gave up playing on my PS4 because of lag and no PTB. Went the PC direction and glad I did. I would hate having to start over. Sure, would be nice to take the stuff on the road but not realistic considering it requires connectivity 100% of the time.

    I can use my phone as a hotspot for connectivity so it is not to bad. In my job I have to play games on all platforms including PC and I find that the difference does not matter for my personal preference. Is PC better? Of course it is but console is more convenient and cheaper in the long run I have found
