The game allows players to simulate game developers as they work to build their empire and climb their way to the top of the industry. The game has been optimized for the Nintendo Switch, both in docked and handheld mode. Game Dev Tycoon will feature both touch controls, as well as Joy-Con and the Nintendo Switch pro controller. The game will support cross-saves between PC, mobile, and console versions. Greenheart Games originally released Game Dev Tycoon back in 2012 on the Windows Store. It was later ported it to PC, Mac, and Linux. Popularity of the game grew organically, but really took off after the media got wind of Greenheart Games’ piracy experiment in the game. The story goes, players who were playing the pirated version of Game Dev Tycoon would end up going bankrupt in the game due to their in-game titles being pirated, pulling a fast one on players looking to get the game for free. Media outlets ran with this story and as such, the debate of piracy in gaming was brought back into the limelight. The game was then updated and released on Steam, where it received very positive feedback. Now 8 years after initial release, Greenheart Games have officially announced that Game Dev Tycoon would be coming to the Switch. This classic game developer simulator is always a fun time and it’s exciting to see it make its way onto the Switch.
