We are looking forward to the release of Firewatch on the Nintendo Switch. Let’s hope the game holds up to the stunning art style it has had on other platforms. Limited Games has btw already chimed in as well on getting a possible physical release done for Firewatch in the future;

> Congratulations! We hope we can eventually help give this the same incredible treatment the PS4 version received! Keep up the amazing work!
