DOOM: The Dark Ages Might Launch on Nintendo Switch 2, Leaks Reveal

DOOM: The Dark Ages has been confirmed to release on the 15th of May for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X, but Spanish leaker eXtas1s seems to think it will also arrive on the newly revealed Nintendo Switch 2. eXtas1s explained the delay by stating that Nintendo needs to first approve all new games for the Switch 2, which means official confirmation won’t come without this previously being done.

DOOM: The Dark Ages could launch on Nintendo Switch 2, new leaks suggest

This would not be outside the norm, especially with Microsoft having a good history of supporting Nintendo platforms. Phil Spencer, head of Microsoft Gaming, spoke recently about his excitement for multiplatform support. DOOM: The Dark Ages on Switch 2 has the potential to not be too surprising given the past success of DOOM titles on Nintendo’s consoles. While the native Xbox experience remains a priority, Microsoft won’t be restricting its games to one platform, he said.

The partnership with Steam from Valve and Nintendo will remain in place, as Spencer believes in giving creators the opportunity to share with as many players as possible. The DOOM: The Dark Ages possibility for the Switch 2 isn’t entirely shocking given how well previous DOOM games performed on Nintendo’s consoles. The original Switch was able to handle 2016’s reboot and DOOM Eternal with assistance from Panic Button, which also helped port these games to the hybrid device.

However, while the Switch 2 may support NVIDIA DLSS 2 Super Resolution and Ray Reconstruction, it may not be able to handle the full graphical capabilities of the game like on PC, where it will support path tracing and NVIDIA DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation. Confirmation from Nintendo is still pending, but these rumors are plausible given the previous success of the franchise on Nintendo platforms.
