Originally a sector of Take-Two, Private Division is a new publishing label made to help smaller and more independent studios.

Virtuos themselves helped with porting over the Final Fantasy XII game as well as the Dark Souls Remastered games all for the Switch. These were massive successes, and the Outer Worlds is looking to be another.ย
Matthew Singh, the senior producer at Obsidian Entertainment, confirmed the Switch release. He did not confirm a date when the Switch version is set to be ported over. He did happen to mention, โFollowing the launch of the other platforms.โ
This, unfortunately, doesnโt really get the community anywhere for the release of the Switch version. Singh continues to say about The Outer Worlds being available on the Switch, โIt kind of blends two of my passions.โ
The Outer Worlds is looking to be a very similar game to what Fallout 4 and Fallout 3 were. The studio did make Fallout: New Vegas soย Theย Outer Worlds looking like Fallout makes sense.
