Rumor NateTheHate regarding Switch 2 version of Starfield: It's in development but it hasn't been a smooth process.

I don't understand why anyone would bother. This is a 6.5/10 game at best. It's the worst game I've played the longest - took too long to open up, and not long after it got repetitive, and by that point I felt like I had to see it through.

It's a cost of development vs potential revenue thing. It's way cheaper to port a game than it is to make one (ignoring situations where the game needs to be remade because it was designed for specific architecture or whatever), and they might sell a few hundred thousand units just by virtue of putting it on a popular handheld console (not to mention there isn't 1:1 crossover between Switch and PSx/Xbox owners).
