Saber Interactive eyes Switch 2 port for Toxic Commando as multiplatform push continues
Summary
Saber Interactive has not ruled out bringing John Carpenter's Toxic Commando to Nintendo Switch 2
CCO Tim Willits signals a broad multiplatform mindset, covering handheld PCs and next-gen Nintendo hardware
The studio's proven Switch track record with World War Z strengthens the case for a future port
"We have not ruled out the Switch 2; we will continue to assess the platform and make a determination at a later date"
01
Multiplatform ambition - every viable platform is on the table
Saber Interactive evaluates all viable platforms to maximize player access across devices
Handheld PCs like Steam Deck and ROG Ally are actively factored into development decisions
Current Steam Deck status is "playable" - full verification is a post-launch target, not yet confirmed
"We look at every viable platform for players to access the game, and in as many different places as possible"
02
Handheld optimization - a performance benefit for all platforms
Willits notes that optimizing for lower-power handhelds has a positive ripple effect on all platform versions
"Getting them running well on handheld devices also helps all the platforms - sometimes, looking at what it takes to get things running well on limited platforms actually helps the bigger platforms, too"
Post-launch hotfixes are already rolling out, suggesting active ongoing optimization work
03
Nintendo Switch 2 - not ruled out, backed by strong history
Switch 2 is officially listed as a platform under consideration, pending formal assessment
Saber's prior port of World War Z to the original Nintendo Switch demonstrates relevant technical capability
"We have a great track record with the Switch, and we look forward to developing as much as we can on the Switch 2"
04
What comes next - post-launch platform decisions ahead
Launch stability is the immediate priority before any new platform commitments are made
Steam Deck full verification and Switch 2 assessment are both post-launch evaluation items
A Switch 2 announcement, if it comes, would follow the studio's established pattern of gradual platform expansion
