Hello,
I just want to know if PUN is supported on the Nintendo Switch platform, or will be in the near future?
Also if it is supported, what about the switch LAN multiplayer feature, do you know how it works, any plans on having some plugin work for that? i guess PUN is out of the question since it uses servers, but maybe BOLT or something?

Thanks for any answers =D

    Hi @DandS,

    Thank you for choosing Photon!

    PUN should support Switch by now, send us an email to get more details (developer at photonengine dot com).
    Bolt is not ported to Switch yet.
    It will be at some point, I don't have an ETA.
    And yes Bolt is suitable for LAN games.

    Hello. I wonder does Photon Thunder support Nintendo Switch platform? If it does do you have any unity plugins or SDK. Is it free?
    Thanks for any answers. Best regards.

    Just to update this thread since it caused a few people confusion:
    Bolt now supports Switch.
    Photon Thunder is discontinued.

    Thanks John!

    hi @ramonmelo

    Is Fusion the go-to solution for a Nintendo Switch game with a Peer-to Peer architecture? 4 players involved.

    I'm not sure about Switch support at all regarding this page.

    I'm not sure either about Nat punch / direct connexion possibility on Switch.

    Release is planned somewhere between mid-2022 and end-2022.

    Thanks!

    Hello @jlevet ,


    Photon Fusion still does not support Nintendo Switch at the moment, but the support is planned to be released in a few weeks.

    We plan, yes, to have support for direct connections and fallback to relay as usual, but we can't guarantee this feature right now, as it is still in development.

    As soon as the support is released, it will be announced on our Discord Server.
