8% of developers in a GDC survey say they’re working on Nintendo’s next console | VGC

And 32% said Switch’s successor is the platform that most interests them…

www.videogameschronicle.com

The newly-published 2024 GDC State of the Game Industry survey asked over 3000 game developers across indie and AAA studios questions about their work, including which platforms they’re currently creating games for.

For the first time, nearly 250 people said they were working on titles planned for the Nintendo Switch successor.

Separately, 32% of developers surveyed said Nintendo’s next console most interested them right now, behind only PlayStation 5 (41%) and PC (62%).

It’s worth noting that, since the Nintendo Switch successor is yet to be officially announced, those working on games will be doing so under strict secrecy, so it’s possible that more of the 3,000 surveyed are working on ‘Switch 2’ games but chose not to disclose this, even anonymously

Weird how developers are overwhelmingly gravitating to PC, that debauched hellhole of piracy and criminal misconduct!

It's not like PC has a shitload of shitty little indie devs working on some shovelware crap. I refuse to think you believe that, you're just too into this platform war BS.

Is 8% a lot?

Is 8% a lot?

Not really but dev kits are likely very limited right now. Also possible a lot of smaller indie devs excluded from getting them yet but still participating in the poll.

That makes sense, with the huge install base of switch I expected more devs to be targeting the refresh but it makes sense if the dev kits aren't fully publicly available yet

They said like 2022 ppl or devs.
