Hi folks, if testing goes well, splitscreen support should return on Nintendo Switch with our game update next month (the same one featuring the new community flags we talked about yesterday).

This has been on the Known Issues list for a few months now, and it's always been our goal to bring it back. Thanks, everyone!

there are so many f**k ups since epic has exclusivity... I made a smurf to play with a friend the other time, and learned there are actually no avatars with epic. You don't get to see other players avatars too if they have one. Such a simple feature... same for linux support. They had it, then simply removed it... like, wtf psyonix???

Edit: yeah, "same for linux" is not quite well said. Obviously i don't think support for another platform is as simple as implementing avatars, but you get the point.

Also, yeah, i made a smurf. I'm sorry for the players i pissed in my first matches while ranking as it wasn't my intention. Now i'm (almost) at my main's rank and i'm getting my ass handed to me every so often...

I'm happy we were able to natively support the platform for as long as we did -- over two years -- but when non-Windows PC players make up 0.3% of the total userbase, it's tough to justify continued support.
