Publisher Devolver Digital says the upcoming action-adventure title won’t run at 60 FPS on the Switch because the console “can’t maintain that”

With The Plucky Squire set to launch in less than a week’s time, finer details on the action-adventure title continue to emerge courtesy of developer All Possible Futures and publisher Devolver Digital.

The latter has now also confirmed that on the Nintendo Switch, The Plucky Squire will run at 30 FPS. When asked on Twitter if the game will run at 60 FPS on Nintendo’s console, Devolver Digital confirmed that it won’t, stating that the Switch “can’t maintain that, unfortunately”.

The game’s performance targets haven’t previously been confirmed for any system, but presumably, it will target 60 FPS on PlayStation and Xbox, as opposed to the Switch.

Previously, developer All Possible Futures revealed that The Plucky Squire’s main story will be roughly 8-10 hours long, before confirming that the game will be Steam Deck Verified. A recent trailer also showcased its accessibility options.

The Plucky Squire launches on September 17 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. On PS5, it will also release for PlayStation Game Catalog day one.
