PGA Tour 2K21 won’t have course designer feature on Switch
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
One of the features being touted for PGA Tour 2K21 is the game’s course designer functionality. After creating a layout, players can even share their content online.
The unfortunate news for Nintendo fans is that the feature appears to be entirely absent from the Switch version. That information comes from the game’s latest trailer, which clearly mentions this fact at the beginning of the video. We can’t say for certain as to why that is, but perhaps the team felt that they couldn’t get things working properly on the system.

The heavily-rumored Pikmin 3 Deluxe was finally announced today. Nintendo has now opened the teaser site, accessible here. There’s not a ton of content there at present, but it should receive a proper update before launch.
We do want to bring up that the site mentions at the bottom that Switch Lite players are required to use detached Joy-Con. However, this is likely nothing more than an error. If we do happen to hear otherwise, we’ll definitely let you know.
