Later this year, Microsoft and Sony are expected to launch their next-generation of video game hardware.<\/p>\n

It has raised questions about the future of the Nintendo Switch and while many analysts still believe<\/a> it will be the best-selling system of 2020, there are some<\/em> concerns about developers moving onto bigger and better projects.<\/p>\n

There’s no need to worry, though. GDC<\/a> recently conducted its annual ‘State of the Game’ Industry survey featuring 4,000 developers. According to the data, 37% of developers are “interested” in developing for the Switch. In contrast, 38% of developers want to develop titles for the PlayStation 5, and just 25% are keen to make games for the Xbox Series X.<\/p>\n

The survey also revealed how 17% of developers said their current project would be released on the Switch, and 19% of them are planning on releasing a future game on the system. In contrast, 11% of developers said they were currently developing games for the PS5 and 9% were working on games for the new Xbox.<\/p>\n

GDC found the PC was the most popular of the lot \u2013 with over 50% of surveyed developers saying their previous and future projects were developed for this particular platform.<\/p>\n

Just last week, the Switch port specialist Engine Games said Nintendo’s hybrid system would continue<\/a> “to do well” despite the arrival of next-generation hardware, as it exists in its own dimension.<\/p>\n
