While not ruling out the possibility entirely, Pocketpair CEO Takuro Mizobe told Game File that doing so might prove difficult from a technical perspective.

During an interview conducted in early June, Mizobe noted that Palworld’s specs on PC are higher than the Switch’s specs.

“So maybe it’s hard to port to Switch just for technical reasons,” he said.

However, in a message published on X on Saturday, Palworld’s community manager seemingly teased plans for a PS5 version of the game.

Waiting for Bowser to say he can't comment on deals between third parties.

But .. maybe Switch 2?

Unless Nintendo have an issue.
It depends on how much juice the Switch 2 will have. If the Switch 2 is a portable PS4 Pro, it's still going to struggle with the majority of current gen games. Even the bland looking stuff requires a lot more RAM than last gen.

Doubt it… game runs on potato with GPU with 2GB VRAM and less than 8GB system RAM.
Porting it to Switch should be non-issue just time/money consuming.

Why would Nintendo want this Plagiarism Simulator on their platform. I am all for getting inspired by others works but its like copying LOTR and giving the orcs and elves guns instead of medieval weapons.

Doubt Nintendo would even want this on their storefront. Would sell very well though

There's a virtual avalanche of trash on the Switch, including shelves of physical shit in retail stores from Outright Games and Gamemill-who even got one of their cash grabs into this month's Switch direct.

So no, thee ffact that the game has Pokemonesque creatures won't stop it, just like it didn't stop Monster Sanctuary or Temtem.
