Rogue Company Will End Services On Switch 20 June

Rogue Company, the free-to-play team-based multiplayer shooter, is ending its service on the Nintendo Switch on 20 June. The developer, Hi-Rez Studios announced that all in-game real money purchases will also end today. Sad news for Switch players, but fear not, the game will still be available on PS5, Xbox Series X | S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.

According to the developer, this decision wasn’t made lightly. They realized that the Switch port wasn’t up to their standards and that they couldn’t provide the level of support their players deserved. They want to focus on providing better support and updates for players on other platforms.

Switch players, if you want to continue playing the game, you can utilize Hi-Rez account linking to pick up your progress where you left off on another platform. In-game purchases for real money will no longer be available on Switch starting today, and Nintendo eShop purchases will turn off as soon as possible.

For PC, PlayStation, and Xbox players, don’t worry, the developer will continue to provide full support for these platforms. They appreciate your support and understanding during this transition. You will still be able to play and utilize the in-game store on Switch until 20 June but make sure to read the full statement below for more information on any nuances.

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 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.
