I might be in the middle of downloading it on my Switch right now, myself. Even after over a year of hearing about how good it is, I’m surprised to hear just how many people have latched onto it. Whatever the future holds for Supergiant Games, Hades has managed to make quite the impact now that it’s out of Early Access.

Whereas most of Pyre’s development occurred before the Nintendo Switch was announced, so we had no way of accounting for its hardware. With Hades, we suspected from the start that we’d want to bring the game to Nintendo Switch, and planned for it early and made tons of technical changes to make it possible (and even then it was a Herculean / Heraclean task for our engineering team).

But one of the downsides is that porting that tech to other platforms is not as easy as we’d like. We’re to have our own tech and tools, which are tailored to the individuals on our team and help us make games with a distinct feel. It’s one of those things where, if it weren’t extraordinarily difficult for our team, we probably would have already done it. Hey, we have no plans to bring Pyre to Nintendo Switch (or frankly any plans right now past this v1.0 launch of Hades, because we gave that everything we’ve got). Kasavin’s full statement reads as follows: With Hades, the team had already been working toward bringing the game to Nintendo’s platform from the beginning, where Pyre was in development long before the Switch was even a thing in the public consciousness. He specifically cited the challenges of porting the PC and PlayStation 4 game to Switch with the team’s current toolset and resources. In a Reddit AMA on the Nintendo Switch subreddit, Supergiant Games Writer and Designer Greg Kasavin explained that a Pyre Switch port is probably not in the cards at the moment. Seeing the game be a runaway success immediately brings questions of whether or not the rest of the studio’s catalog will be showing up on Switch, and unfortunately, it seems that’s not in the cards for the studio’s sports/social sim mashup Pyre. Supergiant Games officially launched Hades on Switch, Mac, and PC this past week, which has been doing pretty well for the studio, having sold over a million copies across all three systems since going into early access in 2018.
