When asked in an interview whether the Switch would be powerful enough to run Prey, Bethesda was vague at best.
People Can Fly cancelled Outriders 2, previously known as Project BiFrost, thanks to a lack of cash input from its publisher.
I had a blast with the first, I didn’t get to finish the dlc but I would love to go back and play again.
Outriders was one of the best hidden gems when it came out. Doing builds and playing with people was the best.

It's not that shocking considering these numbers aren't just Xbox numbers as you're deliberately trying to make it seem for some reason.
Interestingly, another no shocking fact is that whenever Microsoft releases its quarterly earnings reports, you're quick to point out that those numbers aren't exclusive to Xbox. Yeah... go figure.
They also fired around 2500 people across Microsoft's gaming divisions and Zenimax shortly after buying it, and before they closed down 4 studios including Arkane and Tango.
I remember Satya boasting about how compassionate he was for splitting the list 50/50 across the two companies.
Let's hope its not as bad as socials are making it, good luck to those that unfortunately lose their jobs.
Could be not as bad could be horrible. But it's Ms so I'm expecting the absolute worst.
Sometimes I feel like they brought in Sarah to take the heat away from Phil.
Phil has always stuck his nose into everything Xbox related when it's something positive or at least neutral but as soon as they went the multiplatform root he's stood back and let Sarah do most of the talking in terms of PR. Now they are doing the same with layoffs.
The person who should be let go is Phil himself.
Flight simulation hardware manufacturer Meridian provided an updated look at its controllers, which were originally announced back in March.
at 720p maybe?
That doesn't sound good for Switch. I was led to believe it has hardware on parity with the base model PS4 & XO
Even if Bethesda did ensure Prey could run on Switch, the game would still be either buggy and/or broken because well...Bethesda
If it can run, it will burn that Switch controller's battery out in 15 minutes
I am sure this has everything to do with studios unsure of how successful the system will be. If the thing is comparable to an XB1 in terms of specs then no reason why it can't run it. Plus a straight up port should be very minimal cost wise.
