The Elder Scrolls Online Aiming for Google Stadia Release in 2020; Switch Port "Not Going to Happen"

One of the interesting reveals from Google Stadia's Gamescom presentation is the upcoming port of The Elder Scrolls Online, but it lacked a release window.

it's because the Hero engine is trash

Like the performance of the Switch isn't?

Trash? No. Weaker than the other consoles? Naturally.

@Neonridr In terms of performance it's pretty bad when compared to the mobile phone market and that's using the Nvidia Shield that runs the Tegra X1 APU within spec unlike the underclocked Switch.

If the Switch was made with a Qualcomm Snapdragon, better heatsink and more memory, You'd see a lot more devs bring their games over because they wouldn't need to optimize them to death.

@Peekayboo lol you don't need highend smartphone google stadia is streaming app as long your phone have good wi fi or minimal 4G and run compatible android version even potato smartphone that use mediatek APU could run it.

DashMad@ Where did I say you did? The OP was talking about the Hero engine being trash is the reason the game isn't coming to the Switch. You're to busy looking for an angle to understand the context of whats been said so far but thanks for trying unlike the downvote fanboys.

As far as Stadia goes it's pretty good when I was in the beta because the server was close and it was a single player game. Once you try playing multiplayer games against people on PC you're going to be at a disadvantage and on a mobile network it's going to be painfully obvious.

Or the fact that Nintendo’s online infrastructure is garbage.
