A new survey held by the Game Developer Conference (GDC) 2024 has revealed exciting news for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 handheld gaming console. The GDC 2024 conference will be held later in March, but the survey results are already out.
Nintendo Switch 2 may have a BIG SURPRISE at launch…
GDC has asked over 3000 game developers various questions related to the industry. When asked: "Which platform(s) are you developing your current project for?" the survey results showed that PC gaming is the king when it comes to new video game development. PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Android/iOS were mentioned below.
18% of developers are reportedly making new Nintendo Switch games. Most importantly, a separate 8% of game developers are working on titles for the "Nintendo Switch successor." We're talking about the Nintendo Switch 2 here! We've heard a lot of leaks about the next generation PDA, such as processor upgrades, new controls and better screen quality.
The development of new game titles on the unannounced Nintendo Switch 2 is a fairly confidential affair. So there could be even more developers working on Nintendo Switch 2 games that we won't hear about, even though this survey was conducted anonymously. The next most interesting question asked in the GDC survey was, "Which platform(s) are you most interested in as a developer right now?".
