Fortnite is able to run at 60 frames per second on a few platforms, but Switch limits things to 30 FPS. Unfortunately, that’s how things will remain going forward. Speaking in a Reddit AMA, a developer at Epic Games said the following when asked about 60 FPS support on Switch: “I’m afraid that is not in the cards.”
Fortnite did support video capture on Switch for quite some time, but Epic eventually disabled the feature to improve performance. The studio doubled down on this by saying that there aren’t any plans to re-implement the functionality. On the bright side, Epic is working on server-side replays for the future.
Towards the end of last year, a new company entered the ring to offer physical releases on Switch that were previously digital-only. Warned Collectors started out by revealing Furi, Dungeon Rushers, and Pankapu as part of its plans.
Announced today, the physical edition of Pankapu launches on April 17 followed by Dungeon Rushers on May 8. Furi is still on the way, and we’re also hearing that Warned Collectors has picked up Shift Quantum, Zombie Night Terror, Shape of the World, and Evoland Legendary Edition. Pre-orders for these titles haven’t opened just yet, but we’ll let you know when that changes.
Next Tuesday, the pixel art style adventure Beat Cop launches on the Switch eShop. Get a look at some early footage below.
Regalia: Of Men and Monarchs developer Pixelated Milk today unveiled its newest project. Warsaw, a tactical RPG set in a war-torn European capital during WWII, is planned for Q3 2019.
Here’s an overview:
HumaNature Studios announced today that actor and musician Macaulay Culkin was brought on as an executive producer for ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove. Culkin and his team at Bunny Ears Games provided “crucial input to ensure the game is a hella good time” with their “wry wit and penchant for satire”. Culkin also “knew exactly what would – and wouldn’t – appeal to the thousands of Kickstarter backers that funded the sequel.”
ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove is just a couple of days off, as we’ll be seeing it on March 1. A launch is planned on the Switch eShop.
