On other platforms, for which the game is already available, players are forced to play in 3v3 matches only. It is currently unclear whether or not these new matchups will be patched into other versions &#8211; they appear to be exclusive to Switch at present.<\/p>\n<p>Players have been hoping to see a 1v1 feature in the game for some time now, so seeing the option become available on Switch is a very welcome surprise.
