Hazelight Studios during a Reddit AMA explained why its upcoming game, A Way Out, is not coming out on the Nintendo Switch.

"As for Switch, we’re definitely fans of the console over here, but there were some factors preventing us from doing a Switch release," said programmer Lucas de Vries. "It came out quite late in our development cycle, and we’ve been very busy spending all our time getting the game to the highest quality we could make it.

"Also, since both players require their own camera control, it would mean that you would be forced to buy an extra pro controller to even play the game, which seems like it would be a little unfair to the concept of the Switch. It would have been quite an effort to make an automatic camera system to make single-joycon play work."

A Way Out will launch for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC via Origin on March 23.
