VooFoo Studios has confirmed that their upcoming Switch title Mantis Burn Racing, which is currently available on the PC and Xbox One, will feature Cross-Network Play and will also run at 60fps on Nintendo’s hybrid console.

In a statement released today, the team behind the top-down racer confirmed that they have been working hard to make the Nintendo Switch version of Mantis Burn Racing the best it can be, and that means getting the game running at 60fps in both docked and handheld mode; although 3 and 4 player split screen will be locked at 30fps.

The team has also confirmed that the game will feature Cross-Network play between the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PC – Following suit of Minecraft and Rocket League. Unfortunately, due to Sony’s stance to Cross-Platform multiplayer, the PlayStation 4 version is not included.

“We’ve been spending a lot of time getting to grips with the capabilities of the Switch – we’ve learnt a lot by digging deeper into the hardware” said Mark Williams, Technology Director at VooFoo Studios. “The Switch’s performance analysis tools have allowed us to understand where frame rate improvements could be made and we’re really pleased to have the game running at a consistently smooth 60fps – we were determined to make the Switch version the best it can be.”

Mantis Burn Racing is currently available on the PC and Xbox One with the Nintendo Switch version releasing in the near future. Let us know what you think in the comments below, does Cross-Network play entice you into buying it on release?
