After a lot of discussion, thought, and conversations across our team, we’ve made the difficult decision for Rogue Company to end support for our Nintendo Switch version, with our final date of support being June 20th. This choice wasn’t made easily or without concern for our community, however we realized that the performance of our Switch port was not up to our standards, and we were unable to provide the level of support our players deserve.t. This shift allows us to provide players on other platforms better support & focus for their specific issues, as well as deliver updates with more flexibility and frequency whenever needed.

As of April 11th, in game purchases for real money will no longer be available and Nintendo eShop purchases will turn off as soon as possible. If you’re a Switch player and wish to continue playing at any point in the future, we highly recommend utilizing Hi-Rez account linking to pick up your progress where you left off on another platform. For more information on account linking, check out this FAQ.

We understand the impact this decision may have on our community and would like to assure you that we have worked diligently to find workarounds for various Switch-specific issues in the past. Unfortunately, significant technical and process challenges prevent us from continuing support for this platform, and we believe this is the best choice for Rogue Company.

For our communities on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, we will continue to dedicate ourselves to providing full support for these platforms. We appreciate your continued support and understanding, and please note that you will be able to continue playing and utilizing the in-game store on Switch until June 20th. This will not impact anyone who has linked their account and is playing on another platform, but please read the linking article for more information on any nuances.

If I swap my primary platform to PC, I will lose all my progress as well. That was the whole point of having Switch (or whatever platform anyone started on) as the primary account, no?

Thanks for asking about this. If you switch your Primary Platform as you stated you will lose your progress. If you are linked, everything you own minus any Rogue Bucks you own on Nintendo (unfortunately a limitation of how this Store works) will transfer over.

So even though the Switch support will be discontinued, if I have Switch set as my primary platform (since that’s where I started), I can continue to play on PC as I am now without losing all my progress without changing anything. Is that correct?

I just want to be sure that when the Switch support is discontinued in June, it doesn’t remove the link of my primary account the way I have it set up and no way to get my progress or items in my inventory back without starting over on a new account.

I just want to be clear that there’s nothing I have to do with my accounts already linked and am able to play on PC as I have been doing since the option to log in via Switch has already been removed from the Hi-Rez linking FAQ

While we will end Support of the Switch system, your account information will remain untouched. If you have linked to EGS or Steam, you should have absolutely no problems accessing your account. Just be sure to not change your Primary account to another platform.

Why wouldn’t they be able to access their Rogue Bucks? That sounds like a ripoff to me.

This is based on how the Nintendo ecosystem works. Purchases made from within their systems will not transfer to other platforms. I would advise folks to spend their Rogue Bucks before the last day Switch is available.
