Fallout is one of the most popular open-world, post-apocalyptic video game series out there today and it was never possible to play them on the Nintendo platform. With the Fallout TV Series becoming popular on Prime Video, the popularity has skyrocketed for all of the Fallout games across Xbox, PlayStation, and PC.

Is Fallout coming to the Switch?

It’s hard to say Bethesda never made an effort to put Fallout games on the Nintendo Switch as they released Fallout Shelter on the platform. As for the main series of games like Fallout 4, Fallout 76, Fallout 3, and Fallout New Vegas, they never made it to the Nintendo Switch and it’s tough to say if they ever will.

The likely reason we never saw a Fallout game come to the Nintendo Switch would probably be due to performance issues. Bethesda likely asked themselves whether these games could run properly on the console. There’s no doubt they want to put Fallout on another platform to gain sales since they do have The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim available to play on the Switch.

Could Fallout ever come to the Switch platform?

When Nintendo releases its next console, which is expected to be more powerful than the Switch, there is a possibility that we may see games like Fallout 4 on a Nintendo console. Fallout 5 is still years away and at the earliest, it would launch in 2030.
